Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software The build supports x86_64 Slackware systems only. Building the package may take some time because Zig is compiled from source instead of using a precompiled binary. Native 32-bit builds are not supported because the bootstrap compiler runs out of memory while generating zig2.c. The resulting package installs the compiler as /usr/bin/zig and its runtime library files under /usr/lib/zig.
