I don't know Zig, but wouldn't such a change be a major breaking change where all prior Zig code doing Io wouldn't work anymore if upgraded?


Yeah, but why is that a problem? Zig doesn't promise any stability before 1.0, and it's not like we don't need to change code in other language ecosystem frequently for all sorts of reasons (e.g. bumping a dependency version, or a new minor C/C++ compiler implementing new warnings).


Zig's not at 1.0 yet, so there's no stability guarantee at this point.



Breaking changes is just another Tuesday for Zig.
