> First, Zig is more modern than any of the languages you mention

How so? This feels like an empty statement at best.

"modern: relating to the present or recent times as opposed to the remote past". I agree it's not a useful concept here but I didn't bring it up. Specifically, I don't think there's any consideration that had gone into the design of D, C#, or Rust that escaped Zig's designer. He just consciously made different choices based on the data available and his own judgment.
