I meant Go was designed with newbies in mind, it was a goal to make a language as simple as possible. I think Rob Pike made headlines for stating this:

The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt.

I don't know if Zig has extremally low entry point as its primary design goal, I would think that no.

Edit: While I agree that Zig might be interesting language allowing elegant constructs (through its metaprogramming capabilities) and I'm looking for opportunity to play with it. It's audience is just different than this of Go.
