I'm hoping for Zig [1] to reach maturity and offer that kind of simplicity, because I just can't get a handle on Rust (not that I've spent a massive amount of time trying).

[1]: https://ziglang.org

I'm hoping for it to get more exposure.

The fact that Mozilla was behind Rust played a lot in Rust becoming popular.

But a lot of nice languages have stayed under the radar, and have been eventually abandoned.

To succeed, Zig needs maturity, but also marketing. And that is hard without some big name advocating it.

Both V (https://vlang.io/) and Zig seem really interesting, I also hope they will reach maturity

+1 for Zig, tho it has a long way to go.

I've seen ppl say that something seems amiss with the V project.

There is also: https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin and https://www.kitlang.org/

That are trying to get into the C replacement business.
