After ten years on GitHub, general-purpose programming language/toolchain Zig has jumped ship, citing severe CI headaches caused by crumbling infrastructure as the major reason why.

Debug compilation is 5 times faster with Zig’s x86 Backend selected by default; the work-in-progress aarch64 Backend hot on its heels. Meanwhile, the Writergate scandal, along with a slew of Language Changes and Standard Library cuts, rocks the boat with tidal waves of breaking API changes; the harbinger of async/await resurrection; the last bastion defending language stabilization.
