    [$] Zig heading toward a self-hosting compiler
    The Zig programming language is a
    relatively recent entrant into the "systems programming" realm; it looks
    to interoperate with C, while adding safety features without sacrificing
    performance. The language has been gaining some attention of late and has
    announced
    progress toward a Zig compiler written in Zig     in September. That
    change will allow LLVM to become
    an optional component, which will be a big step forward for the
    "maturity and stability" of Zig.
