This is wrong. There is a lot of respect for rust, being used by Microsoft, Google, etc. (and i'd argue its a bad thing because it's stifling innovation and sucking up a lot of air for people who want temporal memory safety without all the... technical baggage that rust cones with)
Well that is something you definitely don't get with Zig, unless using runtime analysis just like C and C++ have been doing for decades.
Use after free is a reality in Zig.
