Zig is a general-purpose programming language designed for <strong>robustness</strong>,
<strong>optimality</strong>, and <strong>maintainability</strong>.
Zig is a general-purpose programming language for maintaining <strong>robust</strong>,
<strong>optimal</strong>, and <strong>reusable</strong> code.
</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Robust</strong> - behavior is correct even for edge cases such as out of memory.</li>
<li><strong>Optimal</strong> - write programs the best way they can behave and perform.</li>
<li><strong>Maintainable</strong> - precisely communicate intent to the compiler and other programmers.
The language imposes a low overhead to reading code and is resilient to changing requirements
and environments.</li>
<li><strong>Reusable</strong> - the same code works in many environments which have different
constraints.</li>
<li><strong>Maintainable</strong> - precisely communicate intent to the compiler and

Often the most efficient way to learn something new is to see examples, so
