Zig Reproduced Without Binaries


Motiejus Jakštys personal space

Andrew suggests a motivated third-party to implement a Zig interpreter in non-Zig that could break this chain. After reaching 0.11.0-1894-gb92e30ff0b, which is two zig1.wasm updates away from 0.12.0, I received an email from Hilton Chain, titled Thank you for the work on bootstrapping Zig!, where they took my PoC, re-created all of it in Guix DSL and ran all the way to 0.13.0. I am looking forward to Hilton landing this to Guix, so anyone can audit the build script and reproduce this exercise by themselves with an otherwise bootstrappable system.
