From Andrew’s post > Zig 0.16.0 is tagged. Release notes are just about completed and will be published in about 20 hours when the tarballs finish building. As it turns out, it takes a while to build LLVM 27 times on one computer! That's how many different targets we provide compiler binaries for now - all cross compiled from one host.

Men, the zig toolchain is just my goto c compiler. ty Andrew!

I hope Zig can stabilize as soon as possible. Copilot's auto-completion cannot even compile a HelloWorld (due to I/O-related changes), which is clearly not a good thing in the AI era. Time is already running out for new languages.
