“Focus on debugging your application rather than debugging your programming language knowledge” to me sounds like it is directed primarily at C and C++., it’s a much more direct translation.
I don't see how that's possible. It's clearly stating that zig is not in the static (compile-time) safety checking camp. The message is, don't ensure correctness at compile-time, find your errors in the debugger. C++ doesn't force you to use RAII. C has nothing of the sort. Only Rust (of the major, currently fashionable languages) has a borrow checker that has a well-deserved reputation for having a steep learning curve, and no easy way around.
