Awesome Zig

Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal and reusable software.

[!IMPORTANT] Zig is a rapidly evolving language. Some projects listed here may require a specific version of the Zig compiler (e.g., the latest master or a stable release like 0.13.0). Always check the project's repository for compatibility.
