[$] Zig's new plan for asynchronous programs

Date:
Tue, 02 Dec 2025 14:10:36 +0000

Description:
The designers of the Zig programming language have been working to find a
suitable design for asynchronous code for some time.
Zig is a carefully minimalist language, and its initial design for
asynchronous I/O did not fit well with its other
features. Now, the project has announced (in a Zig SHOWTIME video) a new 
approach to asynchronous I/O that
promises to solve the function coloring problem, and allows writing code that 
will execute
correctly using either synchronous or asynchronous I/O.
