> Which gives me pause about the whole zig project

The whole zig project is like six people in a trenchcoat. You can't expect them to prioritize your one thing after 3 weeks

Did you make a PR?

I'm not the poster, but I found the related issue:

It isn't my thing though. It's quite literally, by choice, their thing. They are the ones who decided that rewriting musl in zig was something they need to do and was such a priority. Only it's a serious regression.

But I mean, the six people in a trenchcoat comment is basically precisely what should give people pause. In my project I simply eliminated zig from the stack entirely because even if I worked around the problems, what comes next? What's the next showstopper that gets waved away as oh well six people in a trenchcoat...

Eh, whatever.

If their resources are so limited, why have they decided that rewriting libc from scratch is a top priority?
