Perhaps "understand" was the wrong word given I meant for me to understand. I have a C background and Pascal as well as assembler back in the day (late 70s/early 80s). I dove into Ada/SPARK2014 and picked it up much quicker than Rust. Ada has been around a lot longer than Rust, so I think it's syntax allows for a clearer readability even if they have similar borrowing rules. If I had my druthers I'd be programming in APL or J all the time, so take what I find clearer with a grain of salt. There wasn't as much tribalism around PLs as there is nowadays. I guess people stake a lot of emotion on what they have chosen as their main language or programming paradigm they may have committed so much of their time learning. I still recommend Ada/SPARK2014 to anyone who asks me about verifiable or high-inegrity software with a follow on comment to keep an eye on Rust especially with Adacore and Ferrous Systems teaming up to help Rust get there. Zig does not have a major sponsor like Rust, but it appeals to the low-level hacker, former C programmer. I love playing with Hexops' Mach game engine and graphics toolkit in Zig! I tried Bevy and Rust, but it just doesn't flow as quickly for me. Maybe it does for others.
