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 don't even get their idea, the code is always executed? How does that even work? What happens when you divide by zero?

It crashes: http://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#undef-division-by-zero … Their point is there’s no try-catch style xfer of control flow, only next statement, return, or panic.
