alt Hacker News> the Zig people are really just concerned that maybe Zig itself is a DOA language because it doesn't offer enough over C
I don't think anyone who actually uses zig thinks "it doesn't offer enough over C". Removing #define alone would have been worth it.

If you reach out to any project manager and pitch the idea to rewrite a whole app from scratch because you want to get rid of #define, first you will be laught out of the room and second they will reach out to HR to get a PIP going because whatever the hiring bar they used to hire a developer you clearly are not meeting it.
