As a newcomer to systems programming, I hopped on the Rust hype train and enjoyed the ride for quite a while.

But in recent months, I've been more drawn to Zig. Simplicity, vision and governance of the language (among many other things) are very much to my liking.

As a bonus, I can use Zig to interact with C (even compile C, Zig is also a toolchain), so I feel I'm bound to learn more about C on this journey, too.

In your position, I'd also check out Zig, just to see if it's more your cup of tea or not. Here's a good intro talk: https://youtu.be/YXrb-DqsBNU
