Async I/O is table stakes for a systems programming language, nice to see Zig catching up. Hope they can keep the performance and simplicity benefits they've touted so far. https://lalinsky.com/2026/05/11/async-io-in-zig-016-today.html

Async I/O in Zig 0.16, today

Zig 0.16 shipped last month with std.Io, a cross-platform interface for I/O and concurrency. This is a big step for the ecosystem. Libraries can now be written against a standard I/O abstraction, independent of the runtime, and application developers can plug in whatever implementation they want.
