From my perspective zig doesn't have "big cleanup" upfront. It's removing older features as it goes.

stdlib changes as it wants from version to version. So do language features. Since zig is pre-1.0, zig foundation isn't scared of breaking changes.

Instead of debating for years (like other languages), zig just tries things out. Worst case you can always rollback changes.

IMO best APIs and designs are those that are battle tested by end users, not won in an argument war during committee meetings.

This makes zig unique. It's fun to use and it stays fresh.

You can always just stay on older version of zig. But if you choose to update to newer version, you get new tools to make your code tidier/faster.

Except that many component manufacturers release their efi capsules signed with Microsoft PKI. So no, you can't fully remove them if you want to verify updates.

If you're interested in the topic there's great YouTube channel that demonstrates such attacks IRL together with full tutorials. Below are 2 satellite related videos:

Not the best name for the article. My first guess was version changes, or software being added/removed from repo. Turns out this is about source code modification.
