Zig is promising. The UX problem that the author talks about will be solves by Zig.
About documentation, its still not 1.0, the language. So, its a work in progress.

Zig is kind of in between Go and Rust in terms of the learning curve. In terms of programming, it is in between C and Rust. But it is simple enough. The documentation as I said for the stdlib isnt that great right now as I said.
A few examples:
- Json parsing being special cased into the language
- multiplying a user-input integer with a time value to be a timeout
- channels and goroutines (sorry, I've been spoiled by erlang)
Aside from things that are actually bugs, I haven't found anything like this in Zig. On the contrary, I typically have found something that doesn't work how I expect, and then I think about it, and it's "of course it's like this, why isn't C like this??".
