What makes a NATS client implementation the right prototype from which to extract a generic async framework layer?

This looks interesting but I'm not familiar with NATS

Honestly, have been excited about Zig for quite a while, dabbled a bit a while back and was waiting for it getting closer to 1.0 to actually do a deep dive... but that moment doesn't seem to come.

I don't mind, it's up to the maintainers on how they want to proceed. However, I would greatly appreciate if Zig news was a bit clearer on what's happening, timelines etc.

I think it takes relatively little time to do so, but optics would be so much better.

Move Zig, for great justice.

perhaps it's a trivial observation that people tend to conflate the programming language in the strict sense (syntax, semantics, compiler implementation etc.) with its standard and/or community libraries and tooling.

of course these are very important, but perhaps i'm just a language nerd/pedant who gets confused when an article about a programming language tends to be about async i/o libraries.

Zio already exists, https://zio.dev/

The article says it was created to write audio software but I'm unable to find any first sources for that. Pointers?
