zig is not meant to be just a systems programming language. It's stated goal is "Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal and reusable software." and Andrew really does intend for it to be useful far beyond systems programming. I hope they succeed, since I've been using zig regularly for over a year now, and I love it. I have decades of experience with assembly, Fortran, C, C++, Python, and Javascript, and I really appreciate what the Zig developers are trying to do. I hope they succeed!
