To me Zig doesn't seems like a zombie. * It is actively developed, has frequent releases and it is steered toward a stable 1.0 * The crowd funding model proves that some users want that language. * It doesn't try to revolutionize coding, it tries to be a better C, hence the wowlessness Nim¹ and Crystal² have probably more chances of eventually becoming dead languages but I hope they don't as they are both fun languages. 1- https://nim-lang.org/ https://nim-lang.org/ : Nim is a statically type checked compiled Pythonesque language with a type system residing somewhere between Pascal and Ada. 2- https://crystal-lang.org/ https://crystal-lang.org/ : Crystal is a statically type checked compiled Ruby-like language.
