Agreed. It even brings all of the use after frees, memory overflows, data races etc. along so C/C++ programmers will feel right at home!

[tapirl]

Yes, Zig is friendly to C/C++ programmers. This is a big advantage of Zig.

[b5n]

And we'll keep building the systems that power the world so you can continue to feel right at home. You're welcome!

So life critical software will continue to have completely avoidable bugs in it, got it.

[sitzkrieg]

it is possible to write bug free code in many compiled languages

[FFP999]

This is just simply not so, or at best, the odds of writing a nontrivial bug free program in any language are negligible. Also, we are talking specifically of C, C++, and Zig here. Three compiled languages among hundreds.

Only if your name is Knuth--put your money where your mouth is.

[sitzkrieg]

i enjoyed this laugh, thank you

[waych]

But nobody does?

[FFP999]

It's a job security thing. Otherwise you deliver the perfect program and then there's no need for you anymore.

[pdimitar]

Nope, we the humans are just not that good at programming.
