Andrew (in the linked Github page) answered a question as follows:

> Question: "So after this change, is there way I can still simply call zig run or do I have to use a build.zig file?"

Andrew's answer: "No, this use case will regress."

This in fact literally states that "just" calling "zig run" won't be possible anymore, and heavily implies you'll need a build.zig file.

This seems correct.
