Key differences between C and Zig

Characteristic	C	Zig
Syntax	Traditional, minimal, and consistent syntax with roots in the 1970s; uses header files and preprocessor directives.	Modern, clean syntax inspired by C but with improvements; no preprocessor, header files, or macros; more explicit and less error-prone.
Paradigm	Procedural and imperative programming.	Procedural and imperative, with some support for generic programming and compile-time code execution.
Typing	Static, weak typing with implicit conversions.	Static, strong typing with explicit conversions and better type safety.
Performance	High performance, close to hardware, minimal runtime overhead.	Comparable or sometimes better performance than C, with more predictable behavior and no hidden control flow.
Libraries and frameworks	Extensive ecosystem with decades of libraries and frameworks available.	Smaller and newer ecosystem; can use C libraries directly but has fewer native Zig libraries.
Community and support	Large, mature, and well-established global community with extensive resources.	Growing but smaller community; active development and increasing support, but fewer resources than C.
Learning curve	Steep for beginners due to manual memory management and low-level concepts.	Moderate; designed to be easier and safer than C, but still requires understanding of low-level programming.
