#72Does this mean long term Zig won’t run on OpenBSD? Because doesn’t OpenBSD block direct syscalls & force everything to go through libc. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38039689
This affects static libc only. If you pass -dynamic -lc then the libc functions are provided by the target system. Some systems only support dynamic libc, such as macOS. I think OpenBSD actually does support static libc though.

#73Earlier quoted context omitted.
You must have not tried this with an LLM agent in the past few months.
i tested sonnet 4.5 just last week on a zig codebase and it has to be instructed the std.ArrayList syntax every time.
I made a Zig agent skill yesterday if interested: https://github.com/rudedogg/zig-skills/
Claude getting the ArrayList API wrong every time was a major reason why
It’s AI generated but should help. I need to test and review it more (noticed it mentions async which isn’t in 0.15.x :| )

#77I’m sure this has crossed someone’s mind but why isn’t this called zlibc? :-)
I rather like "libz".

How does that work, with syscalls being unable to be called except from the system’s libc? I’d be a bit surprised if any binary’s embedded libc would support this model.
