My two 'language poles' are Typescript as the 'north pole', and C as the 'south pole', with Python, C++, Zig (and to a lesser extent, Rust and Odin) placed somewhere along the latitudes. I think that of all those options, Typescript and Zig feel closest related. Zig has that same 'lightness' when writing code as Typescript and the syntax is actually close enough that a Typescript syntax highlighter mostly works fine for Zig too ;)
