For me, Zig is more of a better C plus. If I want memory safety and high-integrity software at this point, I use SPARK2014, a subset of Ada. It has a longer legacy for mission-critical software than Rust. Adacore, a private company that provides support for Ada and SPARK, are collaborating with Ferrous Systems to bring all the goodness to Rust, but Rust does not have the legacy applications or all the goodies (yet).
