DESCRIPTION:When much discussion is given to which C/C++ successor languag
 e we will\neventually have to rewrite all our codebases in\, Zig takes a d
 ifferent approach\;\nZig wants to coexist\, so that instead of "rewrite it
  in Y"\, we "maintain it with\nZig". In this talk\, I will give an overvie
 w of the language\, both as a systems\nprogramming language\, and as a (C/
 C++) build system. I will focus on features\nthat sets the language apart\
 , how these enable optimal approaches in problem\nsolving\, and how you ca
 n use Zig today in your existing projects. I will also\nchart directions t
 he language is developing in\, and where and why these\ndevelopments might
  be relevant for HPC.
