Why only Zig?




It's the only language I'm aware of that takes C's explicitness and pushes it even further: it bans some implicit conversions, and it makes you pass an allocator as an argument to functions which can allocate memory. Most languages choose to go the other way and introduce features like try/catch and operator overloading.
