Yeah it's not a hard thing to do, but I think Zig does it very cleanly. As for reading structs, that's supported too: https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/std/#std.io.Reader.... readStructEndian

I doubt NASA wants to put 4 astronauts on the next Starliner flight. So if NASA declares this crewed flight test a failure and requires a redo (and possibly even reverting back to a third out of one planned uncrewed flight test), Boeing is

The Zig compiler has used Data Oriented Design for a long time, so any recent version has that, yes. The most substantial part of running the compiler right now is LLVM, hence the focus to provide an alternative. The other big focus right

translate-c is not required for compiling pure Zig code. However, the plan is to remove the "@cImport" built in. So if your project is importing a c header, in the future you'll add build step translating it from c to Zig,

The other external view we got was mounted on one of the other flaps, and we didn't get footage from it even after the camera we did get was obscured. So some amount of damage/overheating on multiple fins is likely.
