I respect the hell out of Andrew and what he’s accomplished with Zig, but to an extent I think it’s counterproductive to be creating new languages that aren’t memory safe. What niche does Zig fit? As far as I can tell, it seems to be people who find Rust cumbersome, and don’t think it’s worth the benefits in memory safety.
I don’t personally understand why I would choose Zig over Rust. I think it’s long past time we closed the book on unsafe languages as a profession.
