Why I rewrote my Rust keyboard firmware in Zig: consistency, mastery, and fun
> My interest was not (and still isn’t) in operating systems, programming language design, or safety (with respect to memory, formal verfiability, modeling as types, etc.).<p>Absolutely if you're not interested in the safety Rust brings, a lot of the design isn't going to feel worth it. The safety is my favorite part of Rust, though :) Zig is quite explicitly not a safe language.
