Aro: A C compiler written in Zig
For contrast, gforth (a prominent Forth interpreter, by Forth standards) generates+compiles+links binding code in C, at runtime, using the ordinary C toolchain. [0][1][2]
A bit 'out there' you may say, but on the plus side this approach enables handling header files and tidily expressing bindings without the need to implement their own C parser. [2]

Trying to use Forth Foundation Library (FFL) with GForth installed via GNU Guix
But what else then? Well, check online how people deal with some medium sized arrays, say maybe 1000x1000 or so. So I found FFL on Github: https://github.com/irdvo/ffl.
