I find Zig much more user friendly than Rust. I have been able to do much more with Zig than Rust in one-tenth the time. I am not writing any code that requires the guarantees Rust may provide, and Zig seems to make it easier to write safer C-type code to boot.

Zig doesn't force you to free all your memory (which occasionally good), so there are whole classes of errors that Rust/ATS avoid that are possible in Zig.
