So basically a clang wrapper?

  At first glance, yeah probably. But the advantage with zig is that it has c interoperability and the concept around the programmable build system (build.zig)

  Its caching system is also smart enough to handle #include dependencies, so for simple C/C++ projects, it can also function as a make alternative (without having to write a Makefile). Plus, it makes cross-compilation really easy.

    Now that's interesting. This is something that breaks go's cache (for cgo).

  It's a clang wrapper that makes clang just work for cross-compilation. In addition to being its own programming language and build system as well.
