Compile-time short circuiting is why https://https://ziglang.org[Zig] https://https://ziglang.org[Zig] sucks. It means that code that is never called never goes through semantic analysis, which means that calling functions can expose latent compile errors. I've gone back to C99. Sure, arrays aren't bounds checked, but I can write C so much faster than Zig that it doesn't matter.
