Super stoked I managed to build DuckDB with Zig. The next task is to build the extensions and try to match the existing cmake build steps.
I've also opened up a bug report within Zig https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/16149. Unfortunately it prevents using the cache for subsequent builds.
Show HN: I built the DuckDB extension template with Nix and the Zig C compiler
