Zig Build System
If you want to see a fun example of this build system in action, have a look at my ffmpeg fork which has the build system ported to zig build:
https://github.com/andrewrk/ffmpeg
Particularly interesting is the use of nasm as a package dependency, which is executed to compile many assembly files into object files, then linked into the ffmpeg static library.
I'm using this package in a work-in-progress reboot of Groove Basin (a music player server) in Zig:
https://github.com/andrewrk/groovebasin/tree/zig-pkg
Point being that if you want to collaborate on the music player project, you don't need to screw around with a million system dependencies, it's just `zig build` and you're off to the races - no matter whether you are using Windows, macOS, or Linux.
The zig build system is under heavy construction during this release cycle of Zig. I recommend to check it out at the end of May when Zig 0.11.0 is released, and a few more issues will be smoothed over. Of course, if you want to get your hands dirty and help work on a bleeding-edge build system & package manager, come on over and give master branch a try.

Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?
NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations.

Bun 1.1
ntdll.dll!RtlUserThreadStart()
There are valid reasons to use APIs from NTDLL. Where I disagree with zig#1840 is the idea that it is always better to use NTDLL versions of API. Every other software ecosystem uses the standard Win32 APIs and diverging from that without a good reason seems like a good way to have unexpected behavior. One concrete example is most users and programmers expect Windows to redirect some file system paths when running on WOW64. But this is implemented in Kernel32, not ntdll.
