I never wrote single line of zig code, but I follow it as an interesting language, so I might be missing something fundamental.

I agree that this looks extremely breaking, and feel like providing no compatibility layer fragments community, especially when you might have some unmaintained dependency somewhere that will never be updated.

there were similar situations when in rust some core libraries decided to alter its interfaces.

but I believe rust approach with editions is brilliant and could be adapter to other languages like zig.
