I don’t think you can judge a programming language based on its “Hello World.” AppleSoft BASIC has this: 10 PRINT “Hello World” Beautifully simple and readable. But it’s not a good language by modern standards. In your example, I see a lot of complexity being surfaced: output streams, locals instead of globals, error handling. I don’t know Zig but all of those are things that are important to address, and I like that the example doesn’t sweep them under the rug in pursuit of a false readability. |
