to be fair at this point it seems like outside of reenabling async control flow, and eliminating cImport, the remaining major shifts are in the stdlib and not as much the language. they have cancelled the "forcing const f = fn..." plan. i think the interesting thing that andrew hinted at was keeping the "annoying errors that should be warnjngs" (like not using consts and vars) but not letting them prevent the creation of the executable/lib.

note: not all of these are language changes (affects substantially how you write zig) -- many are features and optimizations, true they could affect how you think about zig (inlining monomorphic function pointers), but most people will not notice. Of the ones that are language changes (requiring parens for ambiguous operator precedence, e.g.) many will be automatable and bundled with zig fmt.
