This is actually a great summary of Zig. I am with the author: I am too old and stupid to use Rust properly. Whenever I watch someone like Gjengset write Rust, I realize I am doing it wrong.
I am too old and stupid to not use Rust. I’m kidding of course, but the mental load of doing the things we used do in C++ is really noticeable once it’s gone.
honestly manually tracing lifetimes of pointers is not as hard in zig as C and definitely easier than C++. it would be nice to know for sure but for small and medium sized programs it's not a that hard? and not even "cheating" using arenas
