seriously, zig is so amazing. if all zig was was https://andrewkelley.me/post/zig-cc-powerful-drop-in-replace... it would be unbelievable, but it's so much more than that.

I came here to say the same thing: Zig. The design decisions are spot on.

>D has @property functions, which are methods that you call with what looks like field access, so in the above example, c.d might call a function. Rust has operator overloading, so the + operator might call a function.

But I love properties and operator overloading
