Are you sure? Just because you feel that way doesn't mean you can just make up a statistic that supports your viewpoint.

In my experience, ergonomics in Zig means something other than ergonomics in many other languages. In plenty of languages, ergonomic code is basically just writing as few characters as possible and being able to achieve complex logic with little boilerplate. In Zig, it feels good to be able to compose the conceptually simple language features into an optimal solution to your problem, even if it results in code that is maybe not aesthetically pleasing on first glance.

I'm not going to declare that this solution is ergonomic or not, you can't always tell just by looking at Zig code whether using it is ergonomic, but by that same logic we shouldn't dismiss it off hand.
