We can use zig for systems that don’t have a up-to-date C++ compiler. I alreay wirte a build.zig script [1] that can be treated as the replacement of the local.mk in the nix/ directory. This script will call Zig’s C++ frontend to build executables. That sounds a little evil and I don’t know whether this satisfies GNU’s principle. Zig is not avaliable in Debian but I find people have been talking about it [2]. And I find zig is avaliable in fedora now.
