The article says some Zig advantages but it's worth noting that all these advantages are tradeoffs.

Zig makes handling error easy but makes retaining error information hard. The result is that Zig developers either write more code than other languages to store diagnostic information, or just simply discard diagnostic information. The second makes it much harder to debug because the useful error information is discarded.

About the TigerStyle, it's worth noting that TigerBeetle doesn't even support variable-sized string type. You can store fixed-sized data, such as a string that's at most 32 bytes. What if the order information contains string longer than 32 bytes? Then you need to store that string in antoher database. TigerBeetle is not a general database. Static memory allocation doesn't fit most applicaitons.

The fallable allocation is useful in embedded system and OS development etc., but useless in common application programming, because OOM results in crash rather than failed allocaiton.

I'm always a bit surprised when people cite TigerBeetle for anything (Zig excellence, coding style, etc). They've made some unique choices that work great for them, but it really doesn't seem like they can be universally applied.

I'd bet only a small % of people praising TigerStyle actually disallow all runtime allocation in their own programs.
