You’re making a lot of “assumptions” when you could just read the GitHub issue regarding this change, written by Andrew himself, titled “move @cImport to the build system” [0].

By the way, please note that I not only write Zig code almost daily, I’ve personally contributed to the Zig build system.

Andrew responded in that thread to some more recent comments and made it clear that it will be possible to do all the things from the client without build.zig, (apparently not in one command though)
