the Zig programming language is a different take on making a safer C-like language.
From my first impressions, rather than a memory ownership model so stack allocated variables are safe and instead of a garbage collector, Zig mostly adds slices with bounds checking.
A minor annoyance so far is the language designer decided multi-line comments are confusing and removed them. This makes it difficult to start with commented-out C code and translate each routine as needed. In addition Claude keeps waffling on whether a const array can hold only const types so I might have to read the documentation.
