After sorting the step stack so that dependencies can be popped before their dependants are popped, there is still a situation left to handle correctly: Example: A depends on: B C D depends on: E F They will be ordered like this: A B C D E F If there are 6+ cores, then all of them will be evaluated at once, incorrectly evaluating A and D before their dependencies. Starting evaluation of F and then E is correct, but waiting until they are done is not correct because it should start working on B and C as well. This commit solves the problem by computing dependants in the dependency loop checking logic, and then having workers queue up their dependants when they finish their own work.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
