Cro: Maintain it With Zig

This blog post by Loris Cro makes the claim that the Zig language is the solution to a lot of low-level programming problems:

Freeing the art of systems programming from the grips of C/C++ cruft is the only way to push for real change in our industry, but rewriting everything is not the answer. In the Zig project we’re making the C/C++ ecosystem more fun and productive. Today we have a compiler, a linker and a build system, and soon we’ll also have a package manager, making Zig a complete toolchain that can fetch dependencies and build C/C++/Zig projects from any target, for any target.

(LWN looked at Zig last year).
