Key differences between Golang and Zig

CharacteristicGolangZig
SyntaxSimple, concise, and influenced by C; minimalistic with enforced formatting (gofmt).C-like but more explicit; no hidden control flow, manual memory management, and no preprocessor.
ParadigmPrimarily procedural with support for concurrency (goroutines) and some object-oriented features (interfaces).Procedural and systems programming; focuses on explicit control and low-level programming.
TypingStatically typed with type inference; strong and safe typing.Statically typed with strong, explicit typing; no type inference for variables.
PerformanceGood performance, but has garbage collection which can introduce latency.Very high performance, no garbage collector, manual memory management allows for fine-tuned optimizations.
Libraries and frameworksRich standard library, many third-party libraries and frameworks, especially for web and networking.Smaller standard library, fewer third-party libraries and frameworks, but can interoperate with C libraries easily.
Community and supportLarge, mature community with extensive documentation and support resources.Smaller, growing community; less documentation and fewer resources, but active development.
Learning curveGentle learning curve due to simple syntax and comprehensive tooling.Steeper learning curve due to explicit memory management and low-level concepts.
