Perfect A/B experiment opportunity. Fork Zig, call the fork Zag.

Lock the syntax/api together for a couple of years. Allow AI code in Zag.

Review after a few years, see which is better.

Interesting experiment, would it actually function if Zag was syntax/api locked to Zig? I guess Zag could still have api extensions.
