New search system is based on a Radix Tree. The Radix Tree contains a shallow list of all decl names (ie no paths), plus some suffixes, split by following the official style guide (eg "HashMapUnmanaged" also produces "MapUnmanaged" and "Unmanaged", same with snake_case and camelCase names). Additionally, the search system uses the decl graph data to recognize hierarchical relationships between decls, allowing you to zero on a target namespace for search. As an example "fs create" will score highe all things related to the creation of files and directories inside of `std.fs`, while still showing (but with lower score) matches from `std.Bulild`. As another example "fs windows" will prioritize windows-related results in `std.fs`, while "windows fs" will prioritize fs-related results in `std.windows`.
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

License
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.
