Character Sketches
JavaScript
The accidental emperor who conquered the world in 10 days. JavaScript was built as a toy, became the backbone of the internet, and still thinks '0' == 0 is reasonable.
Zig
The systems programmer who looked at C and said 'I can fix this without adding complexity.' Zig is the rare language that removes footguns by making the right thing the easy thing.
