I think zig generally gives you more options than other languages. The idea of having to bring your own allocator for every function that might allocate is great idea not only from the perspective where you can choose the most efficient allocation strategy, but also because it makes you conscious about the cost of the function immediately. Zig is very productive language and feels like the true evolution of C to me.
