Capabilities for building software without a standard library to minimize binary size and runtime overhead.
Distinguishing note: Distinct from general programming languages: focuses specifically on the ability to opt-out of standard library dependencies for bare-metal or minimal-runtime targets.

Zig is a general-purpose systems programming language designed for high-performance applications that require manual memory management and direct control over hardware resources. It prioritizes predictable execution by enforcing explicit control flow and requiring functions to accept explicit memory allocators, ensuring that all heap operations and logic paths remain visible to the developer. The language distinguishes itself through a powerful compile-time metaprogramming engine that allows for arbitrary code execution during the build process, enabling advanced reflection and the generation
Enables the creation of minimal, high-performance binaries by excluding standard library dependencies for resource-constrained environments.
