Instead of debating for years (like other languages), zig just tries things out. Worst case you can always rollback changes.

IMO best APIs and designs are those that are battle tested by end users, not won in an argument war during committee meetings.

This makes zig unique. It's fun to use and it stays fresh.

You can always just stay on older version of zig. But if you choose to update to newer version, you get new tools to make your code tidier/faster.
