The Zig compiler compiles lazily and does not detect dead code. (Read: functions that are not called from any compiled functions)
That makes total sense (though it would be nice if it could do that detected, I suppose), but what makes less sense to me is the accumulation of unnecessary code (and presumably unit tests for that code) that isn't removed as soon as it's no longer needed.
