Maybe with the new x86 backend we might see some performance differences between C and Zig that could definitely be attributed solely to the Zig project.

- saagarjha 1y agoI would be (pleasantly) surprised if Zig could beat LLVM's codegen.
- Zambyte 1y agoSo would the Zig team. AFAIK, they don't plan to (and have said this in interviews). The plan is for super fast compilation and incremental compilation. I think the homegrown backend is mainly for debug builds.
- Cloudef 1y agoThe backends do already have some simple optimizations. Of course focus is debug builds and speed, but long term goal is for them to be competitive as well.
