Fil-C is an amazing, marvelous even, and useful, concept. Useful for all legacy code that will not be rewritten and/or is not performance-sensitive, that is. The only problem is that Zig has no legacy code, so Fil-C is useless there. If you can afford the performance penalty, there are much better an easier languages to choose from.

The idea of this is that you can import libraries from C/C++ and wrap them on the filC compilation mode, I could see some fuzzing usage on this too but I do agree it's not quite where I would like to see project effort going.
