- Zig's libc subproject aims to replace redundant C code with Zig standard library wrappers.
- Approximately 250 C source files have been removed, with 2032 remaining.
- Benefits include improved compilation speed, reduced binary size, and greater independence from C.
- Recent enhancements allow Zig libc to share the Zig Compilation Unit, optimizing code together.
- Potential future features include seamless I/O control and resource leak detection for C code.
- Users are encouraged to report libc-related bugs directly to Zig to avoid bothering maintainers of other projects.
