I tend to agree with most of your remarks. Zig would clearly be a better choice than Rust to replace C. Zig is also better than C in some ways, but worse in others, this is frustrating. The trick is that most of the good parts are either transient QoL improvements (such as the build system) or guard rails to avoid costly mistakes (no macros, explicit memory management) but the drawbacks (annoying syntax, peculiarities, probably trying to do too much) seems to be long-lasting daily annoyances. I am waiting for 1.0 and also for Jai.
