I find Rust more ergonomic than something like C or C++, or even Go.

I feel unburdened while using Rust, which is not something I can say about a lot of other dev environments.

As for Zig... I tried to get into it, and I can't remember the specifics, but they felt like "poor" taste in language design (I have a similar opinion of Go). I say taste because I think some thighs weren't necessarily bad, but I just couldn't convince myself to like them. I realise this is a very minority opinion, and I know great engineers who love Zig.

Zig's just not my thing I guess. Same way Rust isn't someone else's thing.
