If you present an argument that you like X in a thing so you picked B, and A exist that's more X than B, it means your argument is partially (you like X and Z) or totally (you like Y) wrong.

In this context of, if you are using Zig for its safety via tooling, there is a much more mature candidate C++.

That's exactly what I was criticizing: you just make the unfounded assumption that "argument that you like X" is the only thing that matters, and the debate is not only about X in the context of languages A and B. Introducing C to the debate is stupid, as then the obvious answer is just "but C has Y which is horrile" and so on.
