I fully agree with you. I have written more than I should lines of code in C. I love C. Don't get me wrong. I was searching for a long time for replacement to it. I've tried Nim, Odin and Zig. Zig gives unprecedented control over memory and data. It's something between C and assembly and you can use whole Zig standard library no matter the platform. Plus you don't have to reimplement existing (excellent) C libraries, you can just use them without any additional effort. IMHO Zig will not only replace C as Lingua Franca but it will build upon it and in future we will see big (and pointless) fight between Rust and Zig. Pointless, because those languages adress completely diferrent problems.
That Sand Farmin' idea is awesome
I said before and I say again that Zig is the future.

Very impressive!
Pearl & Python ?! I am still in shock
