From a PL Theory perspective, Zig is vibe-coded.
Not sure why people use it.
Pretty much everything except Haskell and the like can be considered as such.
That's because closely following PL theory isn't always the right goal for a language. Ergonomics and pragmatism are far more important.
I wouldn't disaree on the ergonomics: a powerful but unusable tool is... useless!
Though ignoring all the PL lessons for the sake of "pragmatism" is just plain ignorance.
Rust has a quite solid theory backing. Zig has nothing interesting really: it's "vibe coded" by someone who was doing game dev or something like that.
