> Rust is a terribly complex language, there are people at FAANG companies threatening to fork the language when attempts to simplify it are proposed. Ironically, the person I think you're referring to is actually me, and that's a strong mischaracterization of what happened. Nobody was ever "threatening to fork the language". Besides, that's irrelevant to this discussion, because none of the complexity of Rust compromises memory safety. > I love Rust, but I think Zig solves 70% of the memory safety problem at the benefit of a much simpler language. I don't believe the 70% number without evidence. Again, the problem that we really need to solve is complex UAF caused by unexpected interactions between components of large software systems, and I see nothing in Zig to solve that.
