Zig isn't even at 1.0, so it's not remotely ready for consideration as a kernel language.

- arp242 2y agoAgreed. That said, I do think Zig as a language seems like the better choice here. When Rust was first introduced to the kernel a few years back, one of the people said something along the lines of "a lot of the work was to make sure the build system and infrastructure supports a non-C language, which will also make using other languages such as Zig easier in the future". So it's not inconceivable that Zig support will be added at some point too. When it's more stable of course. But for now it's a non-starter.
