I kind of dont like Zig because of the syntax its just a little out of the norm from what I'm used to. I like D more if I want to go the C-like route, just hate that its not quite as popular as Go or Rust seem to be. Currently I'm diving into Nim more than anything though, it feels like the sweet spot for me.

One gets used to syntax, don’t let that be the reason you don’t like a language.

[giancarlostoro]

It's not just syntax, it is obviously C-like which I like, but it is the way programs look, I think Zig is maybe more low level than I care for.

I wish I had known about D like a decade ago. I swear it was just too ahead of its time.

I've tried it a decade ago, and it wasn't ready back then. It was split between D1 and D2, and Tango and Phobos. That was super annoying, because whatever documentation or library you'd find, it was most likely for a different combination of D+std than you had.

Enjoy D now when it's more mature. The betterC switch is especially interesting.

Its a great language. I suspect the problem was it tried to out java java (GC!) and it kind of tried to out C++ C++
