You got it.

The initial goal of Zig was to be a better C. I left the project because I felt that it had diverged from those goals, and that Andrew is driven by his ego and thus over-extends himself (although his abilities are quite impressive). However, it succeeded at many of those initial goals.

One reason it has been so successful is that it is not unwilling to throw off baggage, like a dependence on libc. The standard library is a major pain to anyone that tries to use Rust without a POSIX clone.
