Yes, agreed with you as to buffer underflows. Here, I really like that Zig has checked arithmetic enabled by default in safe builds. It's a small decision (to many) but so important. It surprises me that Rust does not do this for safe builds. A panic is stronger (and safer) than only wrapping or (implicit) saturating arithmetic.
