As "ridiculous" as it might be, we're a small non-profit and have to prioritize where to allocate our resources as we develop Zig. When it comes to macOS, we follow the same policy as Apple: support the latest 3 versions of it.
Maybe once Zig is fully developed we'll focus our effort on more retrocompatibility.
If you want to help us get there faster, consider donating to the Zig software foundation, as we're looking to hire more developers to work full time on Zig (we're 4 full-time people right now).

- diimdeep 4y agoNo, I will not donate, because I think that my money will be spend on unnecessary effort of removing already supported targets, instead of meaningful tasks, like writing simple check in CMake to indicate that given OS is not supported instead of failing with vague error message on link time step.
- YorickPeterse 4y agoHonestly that just sounds like "I want things for free, but I'm not willing to give back anything in return".
- diimdeep 4y agoEven though as you say atm. Apple does not support <=10.15. Latest Xcode 14.3 still supports building applications that target macOS 10.13.[1] So that is not an excuse to drop support for 10.15.
