I've been keeping an eye on Zig and noticed this recently-merged branch
from Andrew Kelley, removing support for Plan 9 executables in the
linker (https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/24803).
"Not worth the maintenance burden."
I suspect the feeling is mutual right now, given that Zig code rots very
quickly if it uses the stdlib.
I read Ron Minnich was able to get Zig building through vmx acrobatics.
That process is unaffected by the merge as, IIUC, it targets a Linux VM.
This is a blow to self-hosting Zig on Plan 9, though.
