In my opinion Zig is elegant except for one thing: cannot attach data to error.

https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/2647

You have to workaround by things like passing into a pointer to error object.

this is because attaching a payload requires asking the question of who and how the memory of such a payload is managed, and Zig the language never prescribes you into a particular answer to that question.

Yes also the function syntax is weird and ugly because functions aren't expressions.

What do you mean? pun fn f() { } ? How is this weird

perfectly valid to do const f = fn (...) ... {...}
