Zig seems to be simpler Rust and better Go.

Off topic - One tool built on top of Zig that I really really admire is bun.

I cannot tell how much simpler my life is after using bun.

Similar things can be said for uv which is built in Rust.

Zig is nothing like Go. Go uses GC and a runtime while Zig has none. While Zig’s functions aren’t coloured, it lacked the CSP style primitives like goroutines and channels.
Zig is like a highly opinionated modern C

Rust is like a highly opinionated modern C++

Go is like a highly opinionated pre-modern C with GC

In a previous comment, you remarked you don’t even know Zig.
I do. I find his osmosis-based summation accurate.
Yay!
I don't.
Go should be as much in this discussion as JavaScript.
