Memory safety isn't a defining feature of rust in any way and with very very simple rules in C++ (no raw loops and not raw pointer access) you can actually just get rid of memory issues in C++. There are also pretty easy solutions to i

A question for those who are in the Zig camp. I've heard talks that zig is now mostly stable and there are no big api changes expected but I haven't been able to find any official statement on that, is this true?

Apart from one or two things that are currently not implemented well by the browsers, your requirements can be met without a single line of JS or even a server at that. And you may very well not run into those one or two things.

We were taught the 1:3 rule in audio... If the distance from the microphone to an "unwanted source" is three times the distance asthat from the microphone to the source phasing likely wont be an issue. There's always caveats

Average != Median and that is what the commenter above mentioned. The S&P500 and others don't remove the outliers going to the moon which is good for investors but as a data metric would make for a pretty large deviation.

I don't disagree with you at all on this. However you may need to combine several to get to an end result. And if that happens a few times in a codebase, well makes sense to factor that into a library.
