There are a lot of changes happening each release and the results of those changes are often not well documented. For instance, these days most Zig projects include this "build.zig.zon" file, but if you look for any info on the website, you'll find nothing [1][1b]. The build system in general is a bit hard to grok and not very well documented imho.

The developers are very open about Zig's immaturity [2]. I feel like keeping up with Zig it still requires a lot of hanging out on chat rooms and forums, finding "the right blog post", and digging into the source code.

1b: I guess the release notes of 0.11 are the best documentation for zuild.zig.zon right now? Although you would expect to see that better documented elsewhere.
