Key differences between Zig and Swift

CharacteristicZigSwift
SyntaxC-like, minimalistic, explicit, and designed for clarity and low-level control.Modern, expressive, concise, influenced by Objective-C and scripting languages.
ParadigmProcedural, imperative, with some support for generic programming.Multi-paradigm: object-oriented, protocol-oriented, functional, and imperative.
TypingStatically typed, no nulls, no hidden control flow, manual memory management.Statically typed, type inference, optionals for null safety, automatic memory management (ARC).
PerformanceHigh performance, close to C/C++, minimal runtime, suitable for systems programming.High performance for application development, optimized for Apple platforms, but with a larger runtime.
Libraries and frameworksLimited standard library, fewer third-party libraries, focused on low-level utilities.Rich standard library, extensive frameworks (e.g., UIKit, SwiftUI), strong third-party ecosystem.
Community and supportSmaller, growing community, less corporate backing, limited resources.Large, active community, strong support from Apple, abundant learning resources.
Learning curveSteep for beginners, especially those unfamiliar with low-level programming.Gentler for beginners, especially with prior experience in modern languages or Apple development.
