Thanks to a colossal amount of work by Jacob Young, the x86_64 backend of Zig is now passing 101% of the behavior tests compared to the LLVM backend.

Or perhaps put another way, the LLVM backend is passing 99% of the behavior tests compared to the x86_64 backend 😉

Still a few more issues to tackle before it can be made the default, however.

Modernize the old async experiment.

Lowering is done using LLVM's Switched-Resume lowering, which allows Zig to fully manage memory, and avoid dynamic allocations. Similar to the old experiment, it is based on a runtime alloca, allowing calls and callees to be lowered independently.

working on a little something cool to enrich the tardy ecosystem 😊 it handles all I/O through the runtime, preventing the blocking that other libraries cause.

I just took a shower and I have an idea for how to get async await, and have them be actually good
