Zig community really tries to match Rust one in terms of cult resemblance.

Did it occur to you that Rust and Zig might actually be very good?

  • Oh, they are. Like a multitude of other languages.

    • There aren't a multitude of other languages that compete with Rust and Zig in the "zero cost abstraction" domain. There's like, Ada... and D sort of.

      Rust and Zig aren't merely very good, they are better than the alternatives when you need a "zero cost abstraction" option.

      But sure, go ahead and dismiss it as a cult if it makes you feel better. I bet you were one of the people who dismissed the iPhone as "just apple fanbois" back in the day. Won't amount to anything.

People that consider other people that are excited about something "culty" are usually people that themselves are excited by absolutely nothing.
