There's still a market for more performant and predictable networked services. It's a bit too early for a full-fledged post explaining the feature in detail, but as far as I know Zig is the only language that can do async/await and at the same time ensure that when memory limits are reached, the system still behaves correctly (i.e. you can preallocate upfront the memory you need to instantiate a coroutine and, if that fails, you can gracefully return a 500 http error code).
Serious webdev is out there, and when SREs talk about the importance of predictability and low-variance in metrics, they aren't (just) writing content for marketing purposes.
