No, you don't.
Lets be honest Zig is a shiny new shit for people who doesn't want to learn and want everything to be familiar but new.
Criticism of it is not allowed and would be downvoted by bandwagon fanboys.
That might be true or not. But I’m sure you’re aware your post didn’t offer anything constructive and for that reason alone should be downvoted.
Familiar is different from the same, therefore is new. And zig has many new concepts and things different from C
I downvoted because I'm interested in charitable, non-disparaging conversation. I post this so the above commenter doesn't confuse a downvote (1 bit of information) as validation of their claim. I'm personally uninterested in spending much time looking at Zig right now, but I'm keeping an eye on it and generally interested in the progression of languages over time.
