Key differences between Zig and C
| Characteristic | Zig | C |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Modern, clean, and designed for readability with explicitness and minimal hidden behavior. | Simple, terse, and procedural with a focus on minimalism but can be cryptic and error-prone. |
| Paradigm | Procedural, with some support for generic programming and compile-time code execution. | Procedural and imperative, with limited abstraction mechanisms. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type safety and no implicit casting. | Statically typed but allows implicit casting and is less strict about type safety. |
| Performance | Comparable to C, with a focus on predictable performance and no hidden control flow or memory allocations. | High performance, close to hardware, with minimal abstraction overhead. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Fewer libraries and frameworks due to its relative newness, but can interoperate with C libraries easily. | Extensive ecosystem with decades of libraries and frameworks available. |
| Community and support | Growing but still small; active development and responsive maintainers. | Large, mature, and well-established community with abundant resources and support. |
| Learning curve | Moderate; easier for those familiar with C, but new concepts like comptime may require adjustment. | Steep for beginners due to manual memory management and low-level concepts. |
