I'm super sold on Zig except that it doesn't make graphics/vector coding with operator overloading possible :( I've heard what Andrew Kelley has to say about it ("that ONE little feature from C++...") but it's just a very sad situation for what otherwise looks like a lovely basis for graphics coding.
Actually, I don't even want operator overloading in general (leading to stuff like the C++ stream API), it's JUST for vector stuff (ideally with swizzles); same for all the shading languages.
Perhaps it's doable to make a little domain-specific language (DSL) in Zig for this purpose?
With vector extensions (and as floh [hi!] points out, also matrices please) I'm 100% ready to seriously consider transitioning from C++, given the smooth C integration.
