What version are you referring to? I've had zero issues updating my zig stuff to 0.15.2 with frontier LLM assistance.

I’ll use Ghostty as an example because that’s the only software I use that I know is written in Zig. It’s also a moderately complex project not a toy project.

Its Zig 0.15 effort started in August and was only complete in October (see first PR at https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/8372). And many issues were encountered and solved along the way. And of course during all of this they also encountered an issue in Zig itself: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/24627

0.16 changes things around dramatically.

The huge change that will be passing Io objects around like you have with Allocator.
