Zig¶

General-purpose programming language and toolchain

Overview¶

Zig is a general-purpose programming language designed for robustness, optimality, and maintainability. It's a modern alternative to C with better safety and ergonomics.

Language Aliases¶

run zig "const std = @import(\"std\"); pub fn main() void { std.debug.print(\"Hello\\n\", .{}); }"
run ziglang "const std = @import(\"std\"); pub fn main() void { std.debug.print(\"Hello\\n\", .{}); }"
# Output: Hello (x2)

Multi-line Code: Use Heredoc

For multi-line code, use heredoc (<< 'EOF') to avoid shell quoting and escaping issues.

REPL Behavior¶

Zig's REPL maintains state across commands. Variables and functions persist within the same REPL session.
