| 9 | * Never compromise power or performance. | | |
| 10 | * Keep the language small and easy to understand. C programmers should pretty | | |
| 11 | much be able to understand Zig source code without learning anything about | | |
| 12 | Zig. | | |
| 13 | * Interoperability with C is crucial. Using C libraries should not require | | |
