> Correct me if I'm wrong, but the three largest Zig project

I did correct you where you are wrong (“appeal to popularity” as a logical fallacy).

Did you know we’ve had on the order of 3 memory bugs in 6 years of TigerBeetle?

We also reached production in 3.5 years, bringing not only a global consensus implementation, but also a local storage engine to market. (Each of these typically take 5-10 years elsewhere to reach maturity).

Zig does lift us up.

In fact, Zig’s memory model has always been the perfect expression of TigerStyle. And TB could not have been designed the way it is today in any other language (including Rust). Implicit allocation, global allocator… you automatically lose OOM-safety. But the zero-copy intrusive memory techniques we use… Zig is perfect for TigerBeetle.
