Zig > Rust because actually writing safe Rust code

Start thinking more functional, I rarely have issues with the borrow-checker, or even have to write unsafe. But it obviously depends on the context, when the issue at hand really requires a lot of interior mutability or unsafe can be pain.

I'm also super fast nowadays with Rust, probably faster than with any other language (thanks to great tooling?).

Start thinking more functional

Sounds like good advice, thx.
