Conditionals (if and switch)
Zig's if looks like TypeScript's: parens around the condition, optional braces around the body. The catch: Zig has no truthy values — the condition must be bool. switch is an expression in Zig (not a statement), so it can be assigned directly. The TS reflex matches Zig here more cleanly than it matches Go.
