this doesn't mean i won't use zig, it's an alright language, but it means that to me it will never be a proper c replacement, exactly the thing they've been advertising it as for years.
at some point i may well use gnt with zig. but the new way of using zig and c together is to use the tool to automatically port c to zig. except i used standalone fences, so that is destined to fail.
could i fix it up manually to work in zig? yes, but then i'd have written it in zig in the first place and taken the hit.
so no, zig is not to me a c replacement, because it does not support all the bits of C i want.
