Zig 0.16.0 is tagged. Release notes are just about completed and will be published in about 20 hours when the tarballs finish building.

As it turns out, it takes a while to build LLVM 27 times on one computer! That's how many different targets we provide compiler binaries for now - all cross compiled from one host.

@andrewrk Will we pretty please with a cherry on top get a release party? Or if that's not possible at lease a nice presentation like last release where we learn how to use the newest features and APIs ?
