Read a bunch of your other comments, so I know this wasn't meant in a zealous way. - I wouldn't pick my languages based on someone else's hot take, or any Manga avatar, actually. I also honestly doubt "Lina" is unbiased here. They sound like they leaned in heavy from C++, good on them. But many who are drawn to zig, like me, rejected C++ in the first place. Rust does seem like a nice step up for systems programmers who used C++, namely because it seems to expand on and refine so many ideas from there. But if you disagree with the kitchen-sink approach to language features, then Rust might not be for you anyway.
