claude seems to have missed that LLMs make light work of updating a zig codebase across the breakages.

personally, I'm more alarmed that they're dropping LLVM in favor of their own backend.

good luck, boys.

To clarify, we are not dropping LLVM; we are just also developing our own backends with full support for incremental compilation.

Long-term, we do want to compete with LLVM for optimized builds too, but there are no plans whatsoever to drop LLVM support.
