I see a lot of people in the comments basically saying "well X did it first" and that it's not worth talking about. This missed the point for me, zig is an interesting one personally and not out of semantics of std lib or anything really, it's just something nice to play around with so far. I think with the above attitude we probably could have stopped systems programming at c++, that wouldn't be too fun at all, what we all do without java to laugh at?
