Very impressed by zig ambitions, but i found it very peculiar that their focus seems to be going "down" the stack ( aka, compiler infrastructure rewriting) rather than "up" (stdlib and lib ecosystem).
Am i wrong to feel a bit worried by this direction ? Is the team large enough do both at the same time ?
