“Those users” are a mystery to me. Who are they? Instead of talking about hypothetical persons, I am sharing my perspective and recommendation, as someone who learned C before learning Go, and who programs Go from time to time. To me, Go feels like C set to “Very Easy Mode”. Memory: specify layout but don’t worry about freeing it! I see Zig as C set to “Easy Mode”. More control than Go, can do all the C things as good as C, but memory management is explicit (like in C, but less tricky to get right).
