Conversely, Rust doesn't force you to explicitly handle if memory allocation failures. The least you can do in Zig is explicitly ignore allocation failures.
You can certainly write data structures in Zig that swallow allocation failures rather than surfacing them. We're talking about library-level concerns, not language-level concerns. Both Rust and Zig give you the power to allocate raw memory and handle the result of that syscall however you want, it's the standard libraries that differ beyond that point.
