Well it’s working in practice so I don’t really know what to tell you.

> because each projects needs a different toolchain

Not true.

> Different languages

I don’t think a caveat for C/C++/zig source files was needed…

> Different tools

If your project is unwilling/able to verify builds on anything except an ancient version of GCC that’s your project’s problem. In practice that’s a minority.

> different target platforms

Zig has 1st class cross compilation to all major platforms.

If you’re using an embedded target you’ll need to vendor its linker script and boot code which is already the common practice.

I encourage you to try it before dismissing it.
