The core of zig is really solid and where systems programing should go. Unfortunately it's a very bike-shedding language that loves to tell you "You're doing it wrong" at really pedantic & annoying levels. - no multiline comments - no tabs in source code - no compiler warnings - unused variables are a compiler error It's unlikely to ever change. The Zig community is smart, but it's an echo chamber that only retains the programmers who think all of the above is absolutely fine, and are annoyed at the idea of giving people who program differently to them a choice.
