Description : Imperative programming language easily mixed with C
Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain
for maintaining robust, optimal and reusable software. It aims
to be a better C, and interoperates very fluidly with C code.
Zig is a language rapidly growing in popularity, battling it out with Rust (in
a
sense) for developer mindshare. It can easily subsume C repositories and
supports incremental conversion.
I'm using ghostty, written in Zig, and would like to package that for Debian as
well.
I would think a team the way to go. zigteam.
Previous work attempted to package zig (#1012286, archived), but died out in
the 0.10.x era. I'll be starting with 0.13.0.
