Odin seems rather similar to Zig: https://ziglang.org/

It would be interesting to hear from anyone who has spent time in both about the differences in experience.

It’s a trend of “Better C than C” languages that don’t go as far as Rust or C++ in terms of either complexity (or safety) but are more opinionated and modern than C. I think Nim can squeeze into this category, too, but maybe not? Nim is confusing to me.

Jon Blow is also working on one of these, but it isn’t released yet: https://github.com/BSVino/JaiPrimer/blob/master/JaiPrimer.md
