    > Zig, by comparison, offered little beyond syntax highlighting and basic autocompletion.

    Zig has a language server and &quot;The majority of LSP features are supported&quot; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zigtools&#x2F;zls#features" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zigtools&#x2F;zls#features).

      Zig had a breaking change half year ago and since then ZLS only works for std and local code, not for any deps. Zig is nice language but dev experience is a real nightmare at the moment. I say that as maintainer of three non-trivial libraries, and I have one Zig project in production.

      That said, I&#x27;ve been re-evaluating my choices lately.

        0.17 will fix the build-system related ZLS problems.
