Cool project. The &quot;more pragmatic than C&quot; design goal reminds me of game developer Johnathan Blow&#x27;s Jai language [1]. It seems like Zig is still in very early stage, are you planning to incorporate any Jai-like features? I especially like its SOA keyword for quickly changing data layouts [2].<p>I really like this corner of the language design world. People always say that C is too entrenched and none of these languages are compelling enough to make a large number of developers switch, but I disagree. Someone said that C and Lisp are two local optima in the space of programming languages... I think that Lisp probably is, but C is only near a local optimum. There is a true local optimum remaining to be found.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;BSVino&#x2F;JaiPrimer&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;JaiPrimer.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;BSVino&#x2F;JaiPrimer&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;JaiPrimer.md</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;BSVino&#x2F;JaiPrimer&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;JaiPrimer.md#data-oriented-structures" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;BSVino&#x2F;JaiPrimer&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;JaiPrimer.md...</a>
