I've started learning Zig, a new programming language in the same problem space as C, and it has some features I really like. While it's not memory-safe in the Rust way, it has a lot of compile time and runtime checks to prevent common footguns. It has packed structs and variable-width integers to allow for easy parsing of bitpacked binary formats. Its comptime metaprogramming capabilities are spectacular. And it even interoperates seamlessly with C!
