Zig 0.14.0 Release Notes

  • Thank you, so many great features. My personal favorite is .declLiteral() syntax, which makes webserver route-configuration very easy and readable!

    If you are ever in temptation to do a builder for internal DSL, .declLiteral() might be a better way. I think it might be very cool for GUI structures too.

    I did a quick PoC for SQL query building, but unfortunately, any more advanced queries are better to copy & serialize their arguments for safety reasons, so not that useful there, but still, very hyped about this particular thing.

  • Really liking the promotion of "Unmanaged" containers. It's the ones I'm using everywhere already

  • I really wish FreeBSD were a tier 1 OS.

  • Please do a release party!!! The last one was so much fun! _

  • Great work on the self-hosted (no llvm) compiler and linker !

    Is there somebody that can explain to me the value of incremental compilation?

    How is this different than CMake caching, for example?

  • What's the state of async/await by the way?

  • No haiku-os :-(
