> Zig isn't actually a small or simple language, after all, that's just marketing bullshit. Manual, mostly unassisted memory management isn't simple, and compile time evaluation & reflection isn't small. It keeps making claims about being simpler because it doesn't have macros or metaprogramming, but that's incredibly deceptive at best since it does have compile-time code generation (aka, metaprogramming).
As VP of marketing bullshit I recommend you double check your source of information as we never claimed that Zig has no metaprogramming, in fact comptime is mentioned on the front page of the official Zig website and the codesample on the right of it shows comptime metaprogramming too.
That said, is you need something stable today, then Rust is undoubtedly the better choice.
