I'm not the person who you asked, and I'm an absolute rust lover, but--

Rust is for people with C-level problems who don't like C's ergonomics. Zig appears to be for people with C-level problems who do like C's ergonomics.

Some of that is from essential complexity that we've been lying to ourselves about (memory safety, mutability, safe parallelism) and rust makes explicit.

C has a simplicity for it, for better _and_ worse.
