I'm glad seeing this, but without GC and goroutines, then I'm wondering why not use something like Zig instead?

Go is such a simple language, you take out goroutines and you only have to reason about a single threaded application with no concurrency, I would guess this lowers the bar for doing platform native coding.

Zig is much more complex than go, I’m sure there are a lot of people who don’t want to put the time in to learn it.

Why do you think Zig is much more complex than Go? I'm not sure that I agree, except for the low-level stuff on things like alignment, packing, etc.
