zig compiler does lots of things for speed that would push it well into unsafe rust, or unchecked rust (like using u32 index tags in arrays instead of pointers)

Even better! It would be a great opportunity for the author(s) to rewrite it in idiomatic Rust!

Or idiomatic COBOL!

trades speed for safety. i like it!
