With Zig, I can just import SDL.h and use it without writing a binding.

Can I do that in C3 or Odin?

And then you can get AI do a nicer port of SDL.zig and you get way better decls.

Proper enums, proper tagged unions, and often reading the docs can allow the AI to distinguish T * to one of

1. [*]T

2. [:0]T

3. ?T

4. *T

And these are just the most common ones. If you know it’s a read only pointer/array then you can add the const modifier

Odin has SDL built into the language (shipped as a vendored library).
