I think for better or for worse it makes sense that this is delegated to a separate package. For me it always seemed like a weird tangential thing that Zig did

I think for better or for worse it makes sense that this is delegated to a separate package. For me it always seemed like a weird tangential thing that Zig did that is not really related to Zig The Language, and more to Zig The Build System. It made more sense when they were depending on LLVM either way, but now that they're closer to getting rid of it, it does not make sense to keep the dependency just for something that always seemed more like a 'neat thing' than a core language feature.
