I can see why someone would think Zig is inspired by Jai, though. 
Zig appears to focus on not having any "magic", so that the 
source is explicit. Not a reasonable design rationale IMO. 
Properties and exceptions are useful abstractions.

What all these languages have in common is that they are 
opinionated, but don't bring anything significantly new to table 
vs C++, except Rust.

So what we end up with is many front ends to LLVM, sketchy 
interop and starving eco systems...
