Sometimes you need a specific version of ZIG. It's been the case to me the other day, when I wanted to try out a repo I found on github just quickly.
In particular it was my twin brother's repo GPT4All.zig, and I wanted to see if it would run even on my small powered dev laptop (a 2nd hand IBM thinkpad I bought on amazon for EUR 350.00).

ZIG is moving ahead quite fast, and usually does not break a backwards-compatibility for no reason of course. But the build system in this particular case had already

Back in the early 2000s I did a lot of virus related research. A journey that started 1994, when I first stumbled across the incredible VLAD magazine, using our school's great new internet access. My focus around 2005 went on to GNU/linux systems in this regard. Also around that time was probably the peak of "reverse code engineering" sites and communities. A lot of them had been taken down already due to government concerns, most notably http://www.anticrack.de, but one of the most advanced ones was still highly active: http://www.woodman.com, where I was sysadmin for years (and founded the linux RCE forum there).

Reverse code engineering on linux platforms was not so much seen as an important skill to many, a typical argument would have been: "but there is the source code available". Keeping it short here, of course static binary analysis is a necessary skill
