It's not C but we have sponsored a Zig target for Kaitai. If anyone reading this knows Zig well, please comment because would love to get a code review of the generated code!
It would be premature to review now because there are some missing features and stuff that has to be cleaned up.
But I am interested in finding someone experienced in Zig to help the maintainer with a sanity check to make best practices are being followed. (Would be willing to pay for their time.)
If comptime is used, it would be minimal. This is because code-generation is being done anyway so that can be an explicit alternative to comptime. But we have considered using it in a few places to simplify the code-generation.

Can you share the link? I wonder also whether it uses comptine features.
It is not yet ready but the master branch has an initial draft.

This would be great for most projects as Swift for example is abandoned & 6+ years since last commit.
