I am excited about the direction for async w/ IO in @ziglang. This is what I was waiting for to properly do a Zig client for @nats_io - Sounds like it might land in Sep/Oct after 0.15 release. /cc @croloris.

AI agentic systems excel when you can help them move from the probabilistic and creative to the deterministic. And they can work independently if they can create closed loop iterations that they can score and no when to exit. As an example, take Go as a programming language. I.
