Really interesting. It is really good to go through pros and cons of certain decisions like this.
I really don't like how all of these camps have started shouting at each other. I really like both Rust and Zig and think both of their approaches are super interesting paths forward for the industry. They are both re-examining things that has been very locked in place for a long time in the industry. Zealotry on either side is super cringe.
In Zig's case it is good to look at the choices made in the type system of other languages. What do we loose and what do we gain over these? There were probably reasons why they went the way they did. Learn from it. Don't shout that our way is the best and don't assume that you were the first to find this perfect solution to all type problems. Both of those reactions are just childish.
