Zig 0.5.0 Release Notes
I might be alone with this thought: Zig seemed really appealing in the beginning, but now I dislike it more and more with each release. It does not seem to keep the simplicity of C at all, it has lots of peculiarities, and it is becoming more and more bloated. I would consider it a C++ replacement at this point, not a C replacement due to its increasing complexity. One of Zig's philosophy was simplicity[1], but I do not think it applies now.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/Why-Zig-When-There-is-Already-CPP,-D,-and-Rust%3F#simplicity" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/Why-Zig-When-There-is-Al...</a>
