As a C veteran, Zig is interesting to me because of the compiler that still happily eats C. It has potential as a (cross!) development tool that can do a bit more than C tools alone. Which also describes Rust to some extent, but I think Rust would be more a full replacement. Which in turn is exciting because there hasn't been anything before that might replace C in my (embedded or -ish) environment. I haven't actually tried to find out if that Zig promise is real, though. Just some trivial little things. No day job excuse and no personal projects where it would fit.
