Performance Notes
Minimize heap allocations
Use slices instead of arrays when possible
Leverage compile-time code generation
Avoid runtime type checks for critical paths

Security Notes
Manually manage memory to avoid leaks
Validate all input data
Be careful with pointer arithmetic
Use optional and error types to catch failures
Avoid unsafe casts
Monitoring Analytics
Use test coverage with `zig test`
Benchmark performance-critical code
Profile memory usage
Inspect runtime error handling
Track build and cross-compilation logs
Code Quality
Use explicit types and error handling
Minimize unsafe pointer operations
Document `comptime` usage
Keep memory allocations clear
Structure project for maintainability
