They aren't even close.

Trying to write Rust as a noob feels like being in a blackout swamp, waist deep in muck, fighting through thick air and trying, but failing to run from danger. Being utterly constrained in every direction.

Writing Zig as a noob feels like having the clouds part to reveal a bright, sunny Spring clearing and suddenly being able to cover land in a cheerful group with clarity, purpose and focus.

[Edit] Of course, this is purely subjective, obviously a skill issue and YMMV





Kind of surprising, I could see why, but I find Zig more difficult than Rust, so ya, YMMV.
