Thats why im also keeping an eye out for zig and check how they will develop the next 5 years or so. Hope they don't go so meta programming heavy.



Zig has the especially interesting feature that it can compile C code.


That is more a property of shipping the whole LLVM/Clang package with the zig compiler than anything, though.


Whatever the mechanism, it has big implications for how Zig will be used in practice.


A mechanism available to any language that feels like shipping clang.

It is also how Swift gets its C and Objective-C interop, and will have its C++ interop as well.

Or how the Java Panama project extracts header file information for native interop.
