Is it future-proof though? Last I saw, it relied on some yet-to-be-determined design for compiling async variants of everything that uses IO, and it was still unclear whether it was possible at all to support dynamic dispatch.
My info could be outdated - I don't follow Zig very closely, but I am curious.
The Reader/Writer changes are perfectly compatible with the upcoming async I/O stuff and you won't need to change any code that just deals with streams.
No promises about potential future changes though :^)
