However, I could believe Zig's stdlib and culture encourages low memory footprints, but there isn't anything novel in the language that makes it inherently lower memory footprint. Though to name a few languages I'd say that can be directly comparable are Rust, D (esp. BetterC mode), and Nim. Even Julia & Go in the right context. Though honestly I often prefer wasting a few hundred bytes of RAM here and there, even on a microcontroller, for pure convenience.
edit: forgot Odin. Another comment mentioned it, though I've never used it. It looks like it's used in production.
