I'd say power of expression is more closely correlated to the ability to make the code complicated. Making a large language is onoy one way to get that power.

Zig's metaprogramming is not far off being as powerful as lisp. Of rust and zig, I'd expect zig code to be more capable of turning into a hot mess more quickly.

Hopefully its simplicity and the niche it is targetting will help the community keep it somewhat in check.
