you're right that that is a weak argument against C++ in that use case (biased by my own dislike of the language); but it is also a niche that Zig fits into quite well. so it's weird for the OP to claim it's ok to drop down to C++ when needed while kind of suggesting they don't get why anyone would use Zig
