There's a distinction between claiming something is objectively better, which is what Fil-C claims with respect to its "idea" about memory safety compared to Rust... and claiming a personal preference for one approach versus another approach, which is what OP is saying about their own personal preference about how Zig reduces errors compared to how Rust reduces errors.

It is absolutely possible that one language might actually have an objectively better approach to memory safety than another, and in such cases it is usually possible to argue for this using sound technical or empirical arguments. But the way the author of Fil-C presents their arguments it often comes across in a kind of antagonistic manner, like he has a chip on his shoulder.

You may well be right. I've yet to learn about it, but I'm planning to.
