So far, most of Zig enthusiasts look to me like people who get sugar rush from writing fast native code and are ignorant (i.e. newcomers to system programming) or arrogant (e.g. long time C programmers stubbornly stuck in their ways) enough to think that memory safety is just a question of not writing stupid bugs. Or luddites that think that programs must always be simple enough to get memory safety right.

Fits perfectly on my understand as well.
