Re:Why does Zig make Docker irrelevant

- Try to build zig program
- Wrong zig version... Ooops
Docker is (also) useful because you can declare all your system dependencies, no programing language alone can do that.
That said Docker is more or less useful depending on the language. If you need many system libs or external software for test / deploy, it's a god send.
I've been playing with Zig for a few months... Don't have a strong opinion, but I generally use containers for dev and CI.
