I use Zig on Mac, Windows and Linux (but most on Mac). It works without issues (also as a Clang compatible C/C++/ObjC compiler and linker replacement).

I would recommend managing the Zig installation through a tool like zvm (https://github.com/tristanisham/zvm). This lets you easily update to the latest dev version and switch between stable versions (similar to rustup or nvm).

The other install options are working too of course (install via brew - although in the past this was a bit brittle, or download and unpack prebuilt archives https://ziglang.org/download/) but those options are not as convenient for switching between the stable and dev version.

(I had been using zigup.) Interesting that they are using Go for this tool - not sure how that makes me feel!

I guess zvm was created before zig's package management solution (which added network and archive support to the stdlib). With those in place a zvm written in zig would be just as trivial as in go.
