We are talking about Odin, a language aiming to be 'better C' the way Zig is. The literal only reason anyone uses C is to write code that runs as fast as possible, whether for resource-constrained environments or CPU-bound hot-paths. Odin has many features that one would consider warts if you weren't in an environment where you'd otherwise turn to C, such as manual memory freeing. If I were pre-committing to a language that runs five times slower than C, I have no reason to select Odin over C#, a language that runs only ~2.4 times slower than C.
