If anything, Zig is over-represented on Hacker News with posts and positive mentions, particularly when you compare it to other newer languages. To include the other newer languages getting ignored, bashed, or trolled. Where with Zig, it doesn't get that kind of "heat". But just because Zig might be a "darling" of Hacker News, doesn't mean that's the case in general.
For these newer languages, they need to distinguish themselves, in terms of reasons why people would turn to them. In a world of established languages like C, Rust, Golang, Object Pascal, etc... Why use Zig? The argument to use it over what they already know, might not be there for a lot of people.
