> I enjoy Rust, I've taught a course on it, and I happily use it daily for my work at Zed. Despite what Internet comments might have us believe, it's extremely normal for one language to be the best fit for one project, while a different language turns out to be the best fit for a different project. One size does not actually fit all!

Amen. I like both Zig and Rust, and if I praise/criticise one of them, people act like I'm "switching", as if they were two exclusionary religions (though I think some people may indeed view them that way).

The stuff on memory safety written in the article is well worth reading, because in a lot of programmer discourse it's talked of as if it's some binary, that Rust Is Memory Safe, and Zig Is Not Memory safe. That's simply not the case.
