A neat little thing I like about Zig is one of the options for installing it is via PyPI like this: https://pypi.org/project/ziglang/

  pip install ziglang

Which means you don't even have to install it separately to try it out via uvx. If you have uv installed already try this:

  cd /tmp
  echo '#include <stdio.h>                     
  
  int main() {
      printf("Hello, World!");
      return 0;
  }' > hello.c

  uvx --from ziglang python-zig cc /tmp/hello.c
  ./a.out
