    > how to handle errors and diagnostics, though it's an area of active exploration

I am flabbergasted and exasperated by this sentiment. Zig is over 9 years old at this point. This feels this same kind of circular arguments from Golang "defenders" about generics and error handling.

Go gets a lot of flack for getting some things wrong but it was a stable and productive language within a couple of years.

If you look at the current Zig website the hello world example doesn’t compile because they changed the IO interface. Something as simple as writing to the console.

It’s easier to get things right if you have no issues breaking backward compatibility for a decade. It feels it’ll be well over 10 years before Zig is “1.0”.

When will we see Zig 1.0?
