To me, it seemed more like Rust and Zig started gaining popularity around the same time, a few years ago. Then people realized that Zig was in a much earlier state of development than they'd assumed, and had barely any resources to get into it, so the mindshare went mostly towards Rust alone. This is Zig is hitting a second wave.
