That's kind of what people are getting at in this whole conversation though isn't it, ecosystems around languages matter. They can't be an afterthought.
Of course - which is exactly why Zig is not ignoring this. But we still have to compare apples to apples, and oranges to oranges. My original comment was about languages - specifically the ability of the language to consume libraries from another language with minimal hassle, and the response was that Nim somehow does it better.
I'm not even sure why arch support was brought up in this thread, to be honest, because it's not relevant at all? If your problem is unsupported architecture, it's a blocker long before you need to use any libraries...
