## I ntroduction Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software. • Robust - behavior is correct even for edge cases such as out of constraints. • Maintainable - precisely communicate intent to the compiler and other programmers. The language imposes a low overhead to reading code and is resilient to changing requirements and environments of Zig's features. It is all on one page so you can search with your browser's search tool. The code samples in this document are compiled and tested as part of the main test suite of Zig. This
