I hope Zig can stabilize as soon as possible. Copilot's auto-completion cannot even compile a HelloWorld (due to I/O-related changes), which is clearly not a good thing in the AI era. Time is already running out for new languages.

From Andrew’s post
> Zig 0.16.0 is tagged. Release notes are just about completed and will be published in about 20 hours when the tarballs finish building. As it turns out, it takes a while to build LLVM 27 times on one computer! That's how many different targets we provide compiler binaries for now - all cross compiled from one host.

I just saw in their CI pipeline that the build for x86_64 Linux failed. Their error however is different from the one occurring on my Linux machine, where the build complains when it is almost done that the put method needs 2 and not 3 parameters.
What does it all mean Andrew... do we have to wait longer now. THE AGONY.... Oh captain, my captain... :D
