The industry isn't biting @ Zig because it's unstable, notoriously difficult to integrate new changes into an existing codebase and because the compiler is a bitch to develop with (hard error on unused variables with no way to turn it off).

Go has that same problem/feature

[selfmodruntime]

Yes, sadly.

Not sure that last one rings true. There are entire languages with no allowed unused variables (some without prepending a _ to the names) that people love to develop with.

In the industry, how often is it that a tool/language is picked up for the ease of developing that tool, vs ease of using that tool?
