Well, that's why Zig is 0.x and not 1.x. I'm fine even with large scale breakage if the direction is right (and looking at the mess that C++ has become for the sake of backward compatibility, IMHO breaking changes are also the better option after 1.x, as long as there's features to help manage the required changes).

Also, "Zig the language" is currently better designed than "Zig the stdlib", so breaking changes will actually be needed in the future at least in the stdlib because getting it right the first time is very unlikely, and I don't like to be stuck with bad initial design decisions which then can't be fixed for decades (again, as a perfect example of how not to do it, see C++)
