These can be true, while at the same time, “Rust is a better C.”

Zig and Rust have a lot of the same and a lot of different stuff to offer. I drank the Rust koolaid, but I thought for a long time Zig or Nim would be the most popular C alternative.

It’s all about the macros, it seems. Rust’s macros are not the best in the world, but they are really good.
