I’m actually not a huge Zig person. But yes, avoiding arcaneness for the sake of arcaneness will earn you more users. A big success of Rust has nothing to do with systems programming or the borrow checker. But just that it brings ML ideas to the masses without having to learn a completely new syntax and fight with idiosyncratic toolchains and design decisions.
