So I looked it up and found maybe C is a proxy for embedded: https://wiki.dlang.org/Why_program_in_D#Embedded_Developers Embedded D became possible in a later stage of D development. It never got traction, and still isn't recommended :/ Zig has cross-compilation almost from the beginning, a huge win for embedded, and setting a standard. Also having the build system integrated in the language solves many problems typical for the embedded space. If Zig continues to have a focus on embedded, it may well preempt Rust in that space.
