Basically you pick the type safety that Modula-2 or Mesa already offered in the late 1970's, repackage it with comptime and more C like syntax, and have a whole legion of new devs jumping into it.
Note that AT&T, where UNIX and C were born, the language they were researching as C replacement was Cyclone, not something that is not much different.
It’s not a Zig post if pjmlp doesn’t claim the language is Modula-2 rip-off.
Seriously impressive that you’re going to repeat that until the end of time
