I didn't see the article touch on the "why" explicitly, but: zig really has the chance to square this circle for low level languages, since there is duck-typed type-inferenced-coercion in places where it makes sense. Completely correct about zig not necessarily being good for higher level stuff, but I think (dynamic) HLLs have been converging on dealing with this using static typechecking, with varying levels of success
