About cons #2.
Yep, I feel its momentum has been replaced by Rust for some things and Golang for other things.
But zig? No one uses zig for anything serious.

- dralley 6y ago>But zig? No one uses zig for anything serious. There's at least one company using zig for embedded software, despite its pre-release status, because it's just so much easier to work with than C. It has a lot of potential. You're not wrong that, at the moment, it's most just potential. But people have noticed, and I think once it does finally stabilize in a year or two, it's going to be a huge for embedded type programming and system libraries that would otherwise be C. The value propositions is pretty huge for those use cases especially.
