Key differences between Kotlin and Zig

CharacteristicKotlinZig
SyntaxModern, concise, and expressive syntax similar to Java and influenced by Scala; designed for readability and reduced boilerplate.Minimalist and explicit syntax; focuses on clarity and directness, with less syntactic sugar and more manual control.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm: supports object-oriented, functional, and procedural programming.Procedural and systems programming; does not support object-oriented or functional paradigms natively.
TypingStatically typed with type inference; supports null safety and generics.Statically typed with strong, explicit typing; no type inference for variables, but supports compile-time code execution.
PerformanceRuns on the JVM (or compiles to JavaScript/Native); performance is generally good but depends on the target platform.Designed for high performance and low-level control; compiles directly to machine code with minimal runtime overhead.
Libraries and frameworksRich ecosystem, especially for JVM and Android development; access to Java libraries and many frameworks.Smaller ecosystem; fewer libraries and frameworks, mostly focused on systems programming and interoperability with C.
Community and supportLarge and active community, strong support from JetBrains and Google (for Android); extensive documentation and resources.Growing but smaller community; active development but less mature support and fewer learning resources.
Learning curveRelatively easy for those familiar with Java or modern programming languages; beginner-friendly documentation.Steeper learning curve due to low-level concepts and manual memory management; less beginner-oriented material.
