Simple stuff like this looks very similar to Rust: https://godbolt.org/z/spkKai

Rust quickly becomes harder though, while Zig is much easier to grasp.

The fact that they compile to the same assembly instruction does not make them similar source code.

The languages are similar enough that the Zig tool-chain can translate C source into Zig source. There's mostly a one-to-one correspondence.
