I appreciate and respect the "love it!" factor that Zig brings to the table. At the same time, IMO we shouldn't allow infatuation override the hard-learned lessons of our area.

Rust can be a drag but when we're talking compiling to machine code, I'll still prefer it to any other language that does not offer memory safety enforced by the compiler.

Furthermore, Zig is still changing, and the pace with which it is improved doesn't give me much hope. I'm open to have my mind changed so I'm observing from the sidelines. It might turn out to be the best of everything but at least to me it's too early to tell.

The article didn't mention Rust at all. Why do you?

Why are you asking?

I was tempted to mention a few more but figured I don't want to make the comment too long.
