Zig
Zig is a low-level systems language with manual memory management. It’s fun to write, though I’m not sure how it scales into larger projects. It’s like writing C but without half of the headaches.
No syntax-level macro system
There is no support for compile-time macros that can take arbitrary code, unlike macros in Rust or Lisp. Maybe this goes against the philosophy of Zig, but it is a bit disappointing, especially after seeing the powerful comptime features.No struct destructuring
Zig heavily relies on structs to make many features possible. For example, Zig doesn’t support named, optional, or out-of-order parameters, instead relying on structs like objects in JavaScript. Similarily, modules are also implemented using anonymous structs.So it is strange that Zig doesn’t have struct destructuring, of any kind. It’s not like Zig doesn’t have/want/support destructuring, you can destructure tuples, arrays, and vectors, but not structs. Without struct destructuring this makes a lot of things rather painful, since you have to repeat the indentifier a billion times.
