Did you actually try it? Across Windows, Linux and macOS? Setting up a vanilla Clang toolchain for cross-compilation is by far not as trivial as you make it sound.
- pjmlp 3y agoYou mean like cross compiling from Windows to Symbian, Windows CE/Pocket PC, Palm, Android, PlayStation, Nintendo, XBox? It is not a walk in the park, but it hardly a task only worthy of Hercules.
- IshKebab 3y agoNobody said it was a task only worthy of Hercules. Just that it is a royal pain, and Zig removes that pain. You asked "why zig?". That's your answer.
- flohofwoe 3y agoAnd then did you try the same on Linux and macOS? That's what the Zig toolchain gives you, it doesn't lock you into a specific OS.
