Yeah, I’m leaning towards zig but I’m a bit on the fence still.

For Rust, I kind of got tired of writing unsafe rust for embedded, but that’s addressable afaik. The real dealbreaker was that after 10k+ lines of code I still will pop open the source of a library that solves a simple problem and the code looks indecipherable. I also don’t really agree with the dependency explosion that cargo encourages.

Zig is very nice in that it has the most ergonomic struct usage I’ve encountered. The stdlib could really use some improvement though. Comptime is very cool, but I also worry if the community will get undisciplined with it.
