Had the OP not stated that "Zig is probably the most common tool to compile C/C++ to WebAssembly outside the browser,...", I wouldn't have said anything.

You say it yourself, this is about the C and C++ toolchain offered by clang, ergo not Zig.

I only reply on hype regarding Zig, like the previous remark, or it being "safe", when it is as safe as Modula-2 already was in 1978.

Which while miles beyond C, it wasn't without flaws.

As for what adds to the conversation, I guess taming a bit the hype, regardless of the language.

If you are so attentive, you will have remarked that I spare no language, all get their share.

Finally, if you don't like my comments, page down is your friend.
