How does this work with things which are expressible only in C? For example, Pascal strings with flexible array members?

I guess since you said header, you keep everything opaque and create a header for that which gets translated to Zig.

It's super exciting. c2nim is one of the things that makes using Nim in _super_ odd places (like professional embedded firmware development) feasible, and translate-c brings Zig that much closer to what I'd love from it! Embedded Zig is going to be rad, once we get there.

what is the reason for this change? zig less than newbie here. I've only just recently started reading the zig overview, although I have been reading hn posts about zig with interest for some time.

Primary reason is that it removes a dependency on libclang, and as such is required to remove the LLVM dependency.
