Are these the early signs of the next great hype cycle? I feel I haven't seen nearly as many "We rewrote XYZ in Rust" articles of late.
That said, Zig does look very cool and I think its design choices make a lot of sense. Rewriting from C to Rust is a way bigger step than from C to Zig and you still get a lot of safety improvements (though not quite as many as the borrow checker can provide). It'll be interesting to see how it evolves.
