As somebody who's interested in both languages and follow zog development relatively closely I'm interested in these many reasons. Can you give a few example of zig features or other reasons that would be useful for Pijul over Rust?

It's mostly about Rust adding lots of features I am not interested in, and not adding the ones I need for the project. Sanakirja was hard to write in Rust, not a single concept of the language matched what I needed, in the end I had to write tons of macros, and the API is hard to use. Zig would have probably made it more natural from the beginning.

There are other things related to the community/zealots/Mozilla/Rust foundation, but I'm not sure this is the proper place.

Edit: Git zealots are worse than Rust zealots, I attribute this to Git being "harder to learn" (i.e. never really does what people think it does) than Rust.
