I learned Odin's full grammar in 2-3 hours (there's a pretty nice Kindle book about it). Now I know it well enough already that I can even write it even to paper with a carbon pen.

This is what I appreciate also in C, and is a non-existent quality in any other modern systems language.

@jan yeah, it's the only book i found about it :-)

Odin is widely popular in game industry and outside of it is quite alien language so far.

I neither love Rust nor Zig because I don't understand them and what I mean by "understanding" is to understand the language from end to end all the time. They get progressively worse and it's a goa for the corresponding projects. I liked Rust in its early years but then it was quite simple and nice systems languuge; no weird language features such as async :-)
