.file extension Z - Zero compiler header file
File extension Z description:
Zero is a new 32-Bit & 64-Bit object-oriented programming language by Xeno Innovations, Inc. (formerly Static Industries).
The project's initial designs loosely began back in 2001-2002 by Damian J. Suess, CEO of Xeno Innovations, Inc. and ground finally broke in late 2006 as a demand for a quick, reliable & bare-bones language was needed. Language specifications emphasize on keeping close to Assembly roots as much as possible for quick-executing code & small output file size ~1KB for EXEs. Though the roots are Assembly, the language still provides the software engineer and hobbyist alike with an easy, fast and customizable language.
The Zero Compiler's main goal is to target major Operating Systems such as Windows, MAC and Linux. The initial design of the compiler will output to the Portable Executable (PE) format and will soon extend to Objects: ELF or COFF (classic or MS) and Executables: MZ, ELF or PE format.
The main idea behind Zero is to allow for multiple languages to be inside of one, similar to .NET. However it currently only supports 2 formats: Zero & ASM (Intel-Native).
Zero's basis is open source, not just for the compiler project but the keywords used when compiling a project. The reason behind allowing the programmer to modify the keyword code is to allow them to target the architecture on the machine which they are deploying the project on.
Zero allows the Software Engineer fully use all aspects of High and Low Level Programming. Most common usage will be the Ideal Zero coding style for it's quick C/BASIC style of programming. As Zero matures, future plans are set to push away from the C-style coding and more towards a coding structure what past VB and newer C# programmers are use to. Which means rather than all Window Procedures being under one call-back function, event functions will be under their own. I.E.
