I think Zig falls into an "easy to learn, average/hard to master"

Thank you for sharing an insider's account. I naively assume that Zig is not your first language. Regarding "average/hard to master", can you think of any of languages where this is not true? Zero trolling, I promise. My point: No language is any less than average to master. Even VBA has some weird stuff in it that used to catch me off guard when I wrote Excel apps years ago. To be clear, I would classify VBA as similar, but I would classify Python as "easy to learn, very hard to master", and Perl as "average to learn, impossible to master"(!).
