+
+Zig Programming Language
+
+
+`Zig `_  is an open-source programming language designed
+for robustness, optimality, and clarity. Zig is an alternative to C, providing
+high level features such as generics, compile time function execution, partial
+evaluation, and LLVM-based coroutines, while exposing low level LLVM IR
+features such as aliases and intrinsics. Zig uses Clang to provide automatic
+import of .h symbols - even inline functions and macros. Zig uses LLD combined
+with lazily building compiler-rt to provide out-of-the-box cross-compiling for
+all supported targets.

FWIW, in addition to amd64 (aka x86_64) FreeBSD is also using it as
the default linker for armv7, and it has been the default linker for
arm64 for some time. This is probably more detail than needed in
release notes, although it's a useful indication that lld is a viable
production quality linker on multiple CPU architectures.

(Also, we haven't fully switched i386 to lld just yet, because of some
outstanding breakage in the ports tree; there's a reasonable amount of
software that doesn't build with -fPIC or has non-PIC i386 assembly
and conflicts with lld's default of disallowing .text relocations.)



I'll do my best at coming up with some more detailed wording for the 
note when I get into work tomorrow, unless you want to beat me to it 
with a patch :-)
