Have any examples of syntax you find tasteless? Things in Zig that feel ergonomic to me: comptime params > separate generic args; ptr.* > *ptr; optional pointer

  var t: ?i32 = null; if (t) { t +=1; } This for example doesn't work, you have to capture, many little things like that that stacks up and ends up creating a non-ergonomic syntax No for loop, so you have to do multilines things like, and now you meet a new : construct, this pseudo for loop now looks confusing to look at var i: i32 = 0; while (i < 42) : (i+=1) { } Then constant casting between integers, and also floats.. also no operator overload for the math types etc.. Also not a fan of the pointer difference between [] * [:0], too much different nitpicking that makes iterating slow and painful, I understand the benefits, but the way it's done is not enjoyable, at least to me That's just whats on the top of my head, it's been a while I haven't wrote Zig code so I may be remembering wrong
