you should be able to get it from your system package manager or flatpack. linux is annoying here because it's a GUI app.

Zig is even more portable than C

You’re kidding right? That’s not what the support matrix on the Zig site shows. Plenty of CPU archs in Tier 3/4. No support for Alpha, HPPA, M68K, Sparc, or SuperH.

"portable" and "has ports" mean two different things. there might be targets Zig doesn't have great support for yet but what I meant is that bootstrapping a target to Zig is a simpler endeavor than it is for C

Is it? I think zig use llvm codegen. Once you got llvm for your architecture, you get 99% of modern language

LLVM codegen is optional, and LLVM is being turned into a runtime dependency.

Zig has its own compiler backend. With limited arch support of course. Only used in debug modes for now.

I think the most interesting part is they rely on WASM for bootstrapping so all you need to make to bootstrap Zig anywhere is a WASM interpreter (if I understand correctly).

what good in the world could possibly come from this being available? did anyone working on this ever think about that?

The creation of shareholder value. Much has been thought about it.

i wish there was a way to provide alternate html too

body { max-width: 70rem; }

A bookmarklet:

  javascript:(function(){const s=document.body.style;s.maxWidth='60ch';s.margin='0 auto';s.fontSize='16pt';s.textAlign='justify';s.hyphens='auto';s.wordBreak='break-word';})();

Reading mode (Alt + Shift + R)

> An experimental TypeScript port of the TypeScript 7.0.2 compiler (TypeScript-Go, or tsgo), compiled to native code with scriptc.

would it not have been easier to start from v6, the one already in typescript?

pretty, but no variable option?
