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?).
