Zig as a Multi-OS Build System (with Loris Cro)

5 Likes

The point about zig as a c compiler for python packages is very interesting. Also the point about using the ziglang python package to install-time compile!

I recently endeavored on a cpp project using nanobind (cpp bindings for python) and found myself having to re-learn cmake and setup my github CI to publish all the wheels, including writing a powershell script to get my windows runner setup correctly. If I return the project, will definitely see if I can simplify with zig build.
