zig
General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
For my interests (DPDK, NIC, low level storage I/O etc.) I have high hopes for Zig. And for reasons other have explicated over the last year on HN, I think it'll work much better than Rust.
Readers should have realistic expectations. It's not substantially downhill to write C like code. I ran into this bug right off the bat. TL/DL: Zig linkers does not pull in dynamic libs. It finds static libs but alas the .tsk doesn't give expected behavior anyway:

A. Kelly (head Zig dev), to his credit, seems to already be on top of in this through a related bug:
https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/14963
I didn't expect to run into link problems on day 1.

But you wrote it in reply to a description of 10s or 100s of lines of trivial members.
Maybe D doesn't have such a thing, as I said I don't plan to go look, but all the other languages I used as examples certainly do. Rust's Vec has almost 50 public associated functions, a few are non-trivial, but many are, and of course they take up hundreds of lines.
https://github.com/microsoft/STL/blob/main/stl/inc/vector is almost 4000 lines. As I said, C++ makes even a trivial function into a horrible mess like this:
_CONSTEXPR20 void shrink_to_fit() { // reduce capacity to size, provide strong guarantee -
InfluxDB
Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.
