Is it time to have a stable release for zig?

Then my answer is ‘no’.

Some resources if you’re interested in what is remaining before 1.0:

Also, a relevant quote from the linked talk:

I see this sometimes people are like waiting around, like “oh I’ll try Zig when it’s 1.0, I don’t want it to be unstable” and I think that’s a reasonable emotion but I think that in practice what’s going to happen is that we get closer to 1.0 and things will just become extremely stable and that’s the point where you can start using Zig and you should absolutely start using it when it’s stable and not 1.0 yet because that’s the chance when real users who really invest in it start to have problems and we have a chance to fix something before we want to really say we’re not going to do any breaking changes
