  1. It just keeps getting better and better the more you use it. I was admittedly skeptic at first, I initially thought the syntax looked strange. Finally gave an honest effort to learn it, and absolutely love it now, and understand "why" some of the syntax exists, and the convenient things it allows for that just feel satisfying.

  2. ​@ I dunno, personally don't find much in common with their syntax beyond the very basics that most mainstream languages share.

  3. I am still an amateur when it comes to the build-system, but still manage to stumble through what I need without much struggle. I am sure it gets more complicated with cross-compiling C libraries for exotic architectures, but the typical use-cases of of building/linking some libraries and importing some Zig modules is painless. For a reference point, it is far less complicated than using CMake if you are familiar with it, but very different.
