Rust began in 2006 and became stable in 2015. Zig still has a year at the very least!
Zig lacks the corporate backing Rust had, though, so it's hard to say when they'll get stable.
Regardless, even if it'll take Zig a decade, I'm sure it'll have a stable release with decent memory management as part of the language spec before C will.
