Looks interesting.
About static binaries on Linux, you can use LDC's `--static` 
flag. It works well with no-runtime projects like the ones you 
are mentioning and you don't need Zig:

```
--static - Create a statically linked binary, including all 
system dependencies
```

Though Zig makes sense sometimes.
