Zig - What, how and why

📆 Abstract
This talk introduces Zig, a relatively young programming language with great future prospects.
Zig is a low-level language with a minimalist philosophy, ideal for applications that require precise control of latency and resources. It combines a minimal syntax similar to Go with manual memory management and compilation checks like Rust, but with shorter compilation times.
Key features include code execution during compilation, interoperability with C libraries, and high portability. The talk explores the Zig language and its ecosystem for developing modern applications.
