    This "why zig" is the best "why [language]" article I can recall reading. https://github.com/zig-lang/zig/wiki/Why-Zig-When-There-is-Already-CPP%2C-D%2C-and-Rust%3F …pic.twitter.com/G9VXN06z1y

        If zig isn't the language for you, the doc is concrete enough that you can see that it isn't, unlike "[language] is the best" manifestos.

        This talk on Zig is also pretty great: https://youtu.be/Z4oYSByyRak?t=169 … The creator of Zig starts with what sounds like an obviously unreasonable goal (write perfect software) and then explains how the language helps you get closer to the goal.

        I think that conveys a lot of information!

        That’s true, but isn’t that going to be true of most concise but informative statements about a new language?

        If they focus on bare metal no-helpers niche, why compare with non-competition?

        Intro should instead talk 'Why Z instead of C, FORTRAN, Pascal'

        That's great reverse psychology to make people interested in Pony...

        Thanks for sharing this! I'm quite excited to see a low-level and simple competitor to Rust! :D

        Longer maybe, but I also really liked Go’s tour concept as a quick way to get a feel for a language.

        Zig wants to be like C - but it adds generics. However he he did not keep the bulk of the C syntax. Interesting why...
