I usually agree, but at least Zig has something new to bring to the table (allocation safety).

Programming languages has been one of my major subjects at the university and I don't see anything new in Zig regarding memory allocation.

The only thing that's new is the convention to actually handle out of memory correctly, and the convention to accept an allocator as a parameter rather than using a global allocator.

Yep, nothing new unless one only knows C.
