Share the canonical public link.
Vercel Labs released Zero on May 15, 2026 as v0.1.1 under Apache-2.0 license at github.com/vercel-labs/zero. Zero is an experimental systems programming language that compiles to sub-10 KiB native binaries with explicit capability-based I/O in signatures and no mandatory GC or hidden allocators. The compiler outputs structured JSON diagnostics with stable error codes and typed repair metadata. Vercel engineer Chris Tate created the language to enable AI agents to read, repair, and ship native programs directly without human translation layers.
