Tools for people who still write assembly and C on purpose.
We build small, fast, single-purpose developer tools. No frameworks, no bloat, no telemetry. If it doesn't need to allocate, it doesn't allocate.
Influences: suckless, TinyCC, the Unix philosophy.
ForgeZero (fz) — zero-overhead build tool for assembly, C, C++, Objective-C, and Gloria. Wraps NASM, GAS, FASM, GCC, Clang, Zig, and LD behind one command-line interface.
