What is it too late for? What’s the rush? And don’t get me wrong I’d love a Zig 1.0, but I appreciate how methodical Zig, as I am writing it and as it is being developed.
There is a 2026 roadmap in the News category In games it’s said that adding more people/money to a project makes it bigger before it makes it faster. A bigger programming language might have a better/fleshed-out std library, maybe it has superfluous and confusing language features. There’s another popular thread debating what to remove from the language1, so I think it’s generally agreed among this community we want small strong features over many weak and confusing additions.
If you are already satisfied- and even prefer Zig with LLM-generated code, why do you need Zig to be 1.0? Do you need a 1.0 badge to convince your team to accept the language? Wouldn’t this new LLM stuff be more in-dev and unstable than Zig, especially if we’re talking about price hikes? What is it exactly you would want changed from the language?
