 This repository explores building Zig from the C++ implementation without using
 binary blobs. [Forum post goes with this][1].
 
-Clone zig and prune binary files from history:
+This works up to Zig 0.11. Guix [picked it up and went all the way to 0.13.0
+and beyond](https://issues.guix.gnu.org/74217). If you want a kosher
+`zig1.wasm`, you can take it from Guix, free of charge, right now.
 
-```
+Also see my [write-up](https://jakstys.lt/2024/zig-reproduced-without-binaries/).
-$ git clone https://github.com/ziglang/zig zig2
-$ cd zig2
-$ git config user.name "$(git config --get user.name)"
-$ git config user.email "$(git config --get user.email)"
-$ git filter-repo --prune-empty=never --prune-degenerate never --invert-paths --path-glob 'stage1/zig1.wasm*' --path stage1/zig1.c
-```
-
-Now build an isolated container with a bunch of zig historic dependencies:
-
-```
-$ docker build -t zig-repro .
-$ docker run -ti --rm --name zig-repro \
-    -v ~/code:/x \
-    -v /home/$USER/.cache/zig:/home/$USER/.cache/zig \
-    -w /x/zig2 \
-    zig-repro \
-    sh -c "useradd -s /bin/bash -u $UID $USER && su $USER; bash"
-```
-
-And run the thing in the container:
-
-```
-$ ../zig-repro/run
-```
