Author here. I've been chatting with the Zig BDFL on Twitter recently about contributing APE support and he's been super supportive so far. It's going to be a nontrivial undertaking but would certainly be rewarding for everyone if we can make it happen.

If you're interested, I'd expect adding support for this to the Nim programming language would be more trivial since Nim compiles to C.

I had a quick look into doing this on your original thread[1], but got stuck pretty early on and just didn't have the time to get back into it.

If that's something you'd be willing to pursue I'd love to help any way I can. Feel free to DM me on Twitter[2] any time.

Very cool! Maybe I should give Zig a try too.

Also hats off to you @jart!

Is this a one time thing or are you thinking of something bigger going with this project?

Oh wow!!!!!!!
