From https://ziglang.org/intro/overview/
Zig is also a C compiler
Here’s an example of Zig building some C code:
hello.c
> #include <stdio.h>
>
> int main(int argc, char **argv) {
> printf("Hello world\n");
> return 0;
> }
$ zig build-exe hello.c -lc
$ ./hello
> Hello world
What does that have to do with portability? It doesn’t support a bunch of CPU architectures, the portability metric I care about.
I misread the comment I was replying to, thinking it was about using Zig to port something, when it was actually about porting something that uses Zig.
