To me Zig seems to be an in-between between C and Rust. It feels a lot more modern and pleasant to use than C without the rather large complexity of Rust. Of course, nothing comes free, so it's also less safe than Rust. I personally really enjoy Rust's commitment to safety and I do find that the difficulty of writing Rust code that will pass the borrow checker and its stricter type system is well worth it but I know that some people find it frustrating and not very pragmatic. If you fall in this camp then Zig might well be worth a try. Basically coming from C if you think that Rust goes too far, try Zig. If you think that Zig doesn't go far enough, try Rust.
