Agreed that it makes the transition from C easier, but I'd also say it makes the transition from C more pointless. I don't really know that much about Zig but from what I've heard, I don't really get the benefits - if you want a fast systems-level language without guard rails, why aren't you just writing C (or C++, if that's your thing)?
