I don't think like a C programmer, my problem is that I think like a Java/Python/Go programmer, and I'm spoiled by getting used to having a garbage collector always running behind me cleaning up my memory poops.

Even though Rust can end up with some ugly/crazy code, I love it overall because I can feel pretty safe that I'm not going to create hard-to-find memory errors.

Sure, I can (and do) write code that causes my (rust) app to crash, but so far they've all been super trivial errors to debug and fix.

I haven't tried Zig yet though. Does it give me all the same compile time memory usage guarantees?

At first, the 12 year old inside me giggled at the thought of 'memory poops', but then I realized that a garbage collector is much more analogous to a waste water treatment plant than a garbage truck and a landfill..
