This PR is intended to stay as draft until the 0.15.0 release, at which point I'll update this PR to use plain 0.15.0.

I'm just making this PR to get the tests passing in advance, and as the corresponding PR for exercism/zig-test-runner#127.


This should be an exciting release for Zig, because it's expected to make the x86_64 backend the default for debug builds. That'll speed up things a lot for both those using Exercism locally and in the browser.

See:

Edit 2025-07-31: The 0.15.0 milestone target date is now 2025-08-12.

As a sample size of 1, the Linux workflow's testing step took:

  • 36s with this PR.
  • 2m18s in the previous run on main.

So thats a roughly 4x speedup, which matches the speedup advertised above.

Closes: #342
