I hope one day Zig is capable of targeting AVR microcontrollers, all anyone seems to target with new languages for embedded these days is ARM. Great, exactly what we need, another homogeneity in CPU architectures.
Since we've made microzig supporting AVR targets (currently atmega328p only, feel free to add more), i'm not using anything else.
Oh and: We can target an ATtiny1616 without problems. avr-libc doesn't officially support the Tiny2 family yet.
I will push my bugfixes for current master branch tomorrow or later, so you can directly play around!
.. and RISC-V. Zig does work with RISC-V, to some degree at least.
I hope Zig support for AVR improves. For legacy reasons. But I don't think we need more AVR going forward. It's rather proprietary, no?
Also, RISC-V support is working quite fine, and i don't see much problems with that.

AVR is Arduino. It would be a bad action to basically say: "well, zig is not going to support the most widespread maker hardware on the market"
Zig has been compiling to AVR targets sucessfully for a very long time.
