I’ve been making a zig program that does the same as a small python utility, so that I can run it on a Raspberry Pi without having to install a bunch of Python dependencies and mess around with venv’s. The utility forms one part of a process to use said Raspberry Pi to remotely re-program an ESP32-S3 microcontroller board.
Also, the executable is so small (124 kB for optimize=ReleaseSmall) compared to the binary image for the ESP32 (2 MB) that I can just package them together and not have to worry about what the system has installed.
P.S. being able to cross-compile with a single command line switch is amazing.
