That's a good point. I was thinking about that specific thing this morning (how the documentation doesn't fill it out properly).

Here's an easy comparison list for you. Mach vs:

- C: More modern and consistent syntax with a dramatically simplified tooling system (no 3rd party tooling required out of the box, even for dependencies).

- Go: More control over the "nitty gritty" stuff that go abstracts away too frequently. No garbage collector. Honestly, I love Go and lots of inspiration was taken directly from it, so I have no beef with the language lol.

- Rust: Dramatically simpler language to use. Flat out. Rust's tooling and ecosystem is the best bar none... but then you have to write code in Rust ;)

- Zig: Simpler version of a similar language philosophy, but without the "features" that can often become footguns like the metaprogramming system zig uses for types. Zig is a great example of a language done right, but I do personally feel that it attempts to make some things "do more" than they should. I'm also not a fan of the syntax personally lol
