C is almost the perfect subset for me, but then I miss templates (almost exclusively for defining generic data structures) and automatic cleanup. That's why I'm so interested in Zig with its comptime and defer features.

You may also like Odin if you haven't already started zig. It's less of a learning curve and feels more like what c should have always been. It has defer and simple generics, but doesn't have the magic of comptime.
