Character Sketches
TypeScript
The responsible older sibling who cleans up JavaScript's messes. TypeScript proves that the best way to fix a language is to build a better one on top and pretend the old one doesn't exist.
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.
