#8Freedium is down, you may be able to read this using Medium instead: https://medium.com/@daxx5/why-zig-is-quietly-doing-what-rust...
I could only see the first few paragraphs, but the writing is giving off a lot of "AI slop" vibes (or perhaps even "human-written slop", let's give the author the benefit of the doubt). So maybe it's no great loss if it's behind a Medium paywall.

Feels heavily AI-written, em dashes and the filler.

It's fair to complain about Rust complexity IMO. What's _not_ fair is pointing at Zig as an example of how it could be simpler, when it's not memory safe. The requirements are different. At that point we might as well say "why use Rust when you can just use Go or TypeScript"
