You’re changing the argument. The point wasn’t whether more safety is “worth it”, but that comparing ease while ignoring which invariants are enforced is misleading. Zig can feel simpler because it encodes fewer guarantees. I’m not saying one approach is better, only that this comparison shifts the goalposts.
