vinix

Other languages are much closer to Go than Zig. A few are Vlang (highest percentage), Odin, and C3 (in terms of how Zig is compared). In terms of C interoperability, C3 (highest percentage) and Vlang make this a strong feature of their languages too. All, in this group, have aspirations of being used "closer to the metal". For instance, there is the Vinix OS[1], from Vlang. Rust coming across as a bit different, from those used to C family languages, has arguably a lot to do with its OCaml[2] (ML) roots.

V's GC can be turned off. V's libraries do not rely on the GC. Check out their Vinix[0] project (where they built an OS). They have other such projects. Better to review more balanced and neutral takes on V[1][2], where the reviewers are not just stirring up drama with their community or funneling traffic to their site.
