C++ features exist for a reason but it may not be a reason that is applicable to their use case. For example, C++ has a lot of features/complexity that are there primarily to support low-level I/O intensive code even though almost no one writes I/O intensive code.

I don't see why C++ would be materially better than Zig for this particular use case.
