If all you want is C but less insane then the obvious answer here is Zig.

Zig is cool, but it is not even close to being ready for prime-time. It will be pre-1.0 for a while, and major breaking changes are still happening.

[dns_snek]

Sure, maybe don't bet your entire company on mountains of Zig code just yet, but aside from the breaking changes it's been perfectly usable and suitable for every project I've ever wanted to work on.

If all somebody want is a programming language than C/C++ on these matter, there are plentiful options of the shelf to pick from.

If all somebody want is a turn key replacement to C/C++ ecosystem, then there is nothing like that in the world that I’m aware of.

If someone is switching from C because it's too easy to trigger undefined behavior, picking one of the few other not memory safe languages is missing the point.

>> If all you want is C but less insane

Zig has orders of magnitude less undefined behavior and orders of magnitude more memory safety than C. It's not a binary situation.

Object Pascal, with 40 years of experience, no need to wait for 1.0.
