I like Zig a lot and think it hits precisely the right niche for a C replacement. Rust is a great language, but it’s definitely not C like when it comes to the overall UI and philosophy.
I’d like to use Zig a bit more, but the standard library is still going through some significant changes (it seems) which makes it slightly harder to commit to at the moment.
In general I wonder if some of these languages would actually benefit from Jai’s approach of deferring availability until the language is ready. While getting early adopters is great for getting feedback early, it can also disuade potential users that try the language before its ready and decide to leave it alone as a result.
