Absolutely! Zig is still not in other distros because of this. Julia
has similar problems. The problem is that language developers live in
their own silo, create a self-hosted compiler with binary blob, and
leave it to the distros to figure it out. Hopefully the bootstrap
can carry on and other distros pick up on it. Zig deserves attention.
Great job.
