Friendly reminder to all new people interested in trying out Zig: learning a new language is even better when you have access to someone that can help you when you get stuck!

Zig is getting a self-hosted compiler and a new form of incremental compilation based on in-place binary patching, in order to provide lightning-fast compilation speeds while developing, as well as increase the stability of the compiler toolchain.

~4 months ago I have left highly-paid position at AMD to work on my own game. Happy to share that the game will be written in #ziglang. Once completed I will put most of its sources on github for everyone :)

Companies can now use GitHub Sponsors to support Open Source projects they use and care about.
On that note, thanks to @lagerdata for being an early adopter of this new feature, and for supporting the Zig project!
There’s a new way for your company to contribute to open source: GitHub Sponsors 💖
Investing in the projects you depend on enables more developers to sustain critical software.

Zig can be used as a cross compiler either directly or as part of other toolchains.
In this blog post, @croloris explains how to make cgo cross compilation just work.
"Zig Makes Go Cross Compilation Just Work" -- a quick guide to cross compiling cgo applications using Zig.
This was also my first time writing on @ThePracticalDev!

Congratulations to Liam Powell, winner of the #AdventOfCode 2018 Zig private leaderboard. Liam achieved at least one star per day, with only 3 gold stars missing total. Liam's solutions as well as many other Zig users' solutions are open source.

Zig has a fundamentally different philosophy: debugability and friendliness to debuggers is a core design principle. Zig makes it possible to simultaneously understand how code maps to assembly while creating reusable abstractions.
Yes, you can't really rely on the debugger as your major dev tool for Modern C++.
But Modern C++ does not stem from that school of thought, that the debugger should be a major dev tool... #LastRT

Nope! std.os.spawnThread is more portable, since it will work with or without libc. I just wanted to point out that you always have access to all C APIs in Zig. -Andrew

There is a prototype of userland channels in the standard library: std.event.Channel but it is advised to wait to use coroutines until after the coroutine rewrite is finished (planned to happen in the 0.5.0 release cycle). The prototype of channels helped inform the rewrite
