Zig's LLVM backend now supports incremental compilation, significantly speeding up error feedback during development by reducing Zig's compilation phase time. The feature is stable and available in master builds, with official release planned for version 0.16.0.
Background
Zig is a systems programming language that uses LLVM as one of its code generation backends, traditionally facing longer compile times due to LLVM's optimization overhead.
