> Yeah, not everyone is mitchellh -- I'd argue that his intuition was right (expecting to find more issues), there's a reason we don't all write C.

I'd argue this is also down to the debug memory allocators in Zig which run a bunch of checks for things like use-after-free. Again, one of the nice things about Zig is that debug mode isn't dramatically slower than release so you're not inclined to turn it off too soon.

However, one thing that does shock me is that no "reference to stack allocated thing escapes" errors existed. Zig does not help you very much on this front, and I'm stunned that none existed.
