I was quite clear that compile-time type reflection was the only thing missing.

Zig isn't the only AOT compiled language with compile-time type reflection in 2021, and exactly because of could-have-been nostalgia, we don't need newer systems programming languages that don't have an answer for use-after-free in safe code.

Naturally I have taken the time, and did not come out impressed, given my background and programming language beliefs.

However as I say in another thread, other people seem to be happy with such shortcomings.
