Zig is on my "must follow" list right now. It's still early enough in the going that I don't want to maintain code in it, but it's developing in a promising direction and making the kind of commitments that are reasonable to keep. A lot of language devs want to play with semantics but aren't into the whole "let's do the hard work of actually getting off of C as the baseline" idea so it's nice to have a project that does and has a fairly explicit goal of absorbing and replacing the existing infrastructure step by step.
