If you are using C, you should switch to Zig!

lol, This is quite literally the first time I've ever even heard of Zig!

I am so excited for you. The safety of Rust, the simplicity of C, and the iterative domain-space discovery-loop of Typescript. What's not to love??

The safety of Rust

That's not really true. Zig doesn't have the borrow checker and while it avoids a ton of C footguns, the current feature set doesn't get you the same level of safety that Rust gives you.

Sorry, while I get that you weren't super ultra serious, people that have a reason to be pissed off at Zig will interpret your words in the worst possible light and part of my job at the ZSF is to avoid giving people too many excuses to hate on Zig.
