# From a developer soon to retire > Source: > Published: 2026-09-18 14:30:03+00:00 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](https://ziggit.dev/t/zig-roadmap-2026/10750) in the [News](https://ziggit.dev/c/news/8) 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 language[1](https://ziggit.dev/t/what-should-we-remove-from-zig/17518), 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?
