Sounds like a Zig-shaped hole to me ;-)

They complain that Go is too low-level for their needs. Zig, with its explicit allocators, is definitely even lower-level.

Rust seems low-level too, but it isn't the same. It allows building powerful high-level interfaces that hide the complexity from you. E.g., RAII eliminates the need for explicit `defer` that can be forgotten

True, but I think the "low-level" complaint against Go in the article was just referring to all the stupid repetitive ceremony required for error handling, which Zig mostly skips over.
