Zig support

[IoIxD]

The roadmap for Zig 1.0 estimates that 2025 will be the year that it is finished, and before it even hits that milestone, it already supports PPC32 Linux as a Tier 2 target (with plans to support it as Tier 1, although there are bugs. See the release notes here).

I don't know much about how Zig works internally, but it does seem that

• it does use libc for OSes that require it, including modern MacOS (although it also supports not libc which is an interesting choice for a programming language, not that this is relevant here).
• it took Go's bootstrap strategy of building the language with C++ and then designating a final "C++ version" as the version that can compile the current source code. With all of that in mind, it seems like Zig support is a possibility and is much easier then Rust. The biggest hurdle, as far as know, would be getting it to output/work with the correct formats, as well as getting the standard library working.

Thoughts? This is probably a ways off but it could be interesting and potentially be much easier to build then a complete Rust target.
