Zig wants to be the world new C not so much the worlds new C++. You’ll note that C cross compilation would still be supported under this proposal.

I think this might be the right choice. C is currently used heavily in the embedded world, and that’s a space where llvm is not good. If I was Zig, I’d want to be able to target all the microcontrollers and this is the only real way to achieve that.
