Rewriting some components in zig is my long term target. My first target is
reducing the code base size and make it more modularity. I have done some
experiments on it [1][2]. Lots of code o

Hello Guix,
Today I successfully built guix-daemon using Zig build system [1]. This show
the possibility of rewriting part of (or entire) gux-daemon in Zig. Zig can
work as a C compiler. Although currently this function depends on clang and
