When Zig is safer and faster than Rust

That is extremely subjective. I find the syntax extremely easy to read, and there are significantly fewer edge cases than nearly all other mainstream languages:

* Why does C# require a break; under switch?

* What about the "Most Vexing Parse"?

* Why does Zig change capitalization of @import and @TypeOf?

Rust is an extremely "guessable" language. It's highly likely that experimenting with syntax will succeed in Rust, which is a syntax feature that I have seen nowhere else.

@TypeOf returns a type: https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#Names

TypeOf returns a type. Corresponding to how type names are uppercase.
