> I think Zig is mostly community-driven and seems to have some traction. Not Rust levels of traction but definitely relevance.<p>Zig already appears to have lapped Rust in areas like game development, GUIs, compilation speeds, C FFI, etc. and all that despite Zig not yet being 1.0. That means backwards compatibility is not guaranteed until then nor is the full feature set fully defined. Notwithstanding that 1.0 release, traction and relevance only seem to be a matter of time.
