See: https://nitter.net/pcwalton/status/1369114008045772804 > So instead of making it hard to write incorrect programs, Zig makes it easy to write correct programs. Well maybe in theory, but the current state of Zig is that it makes it hard to write programs no matter how correct because the compiler keeps crashing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you follow master, you’ll occasionally run in to crashes, which is true of any developing language. If you don’t want that, follow tagged versions.
