Looking into Zig
&gt; This year, I decided to look into Zig. Both Zig and Rust are more or less in the same space, replacing C.<p>Maybe we should think about this in terms of space occupied by the languages and not the language themselves. One of the features of C is that pretty much anything can interface with it. Another is that you can write very fast code with it. Another is that pretty much any platform has a C compiler. Another is that it&#x27;s small and fits in your head. Depending on what you&#x27;re trying to do, you might use one &quot;C replacement&quot; or another.<p>Another way of looking at it would be to see the shortcomings of C you&#x27;re trying to overcome. I think this way of thinking would be more productive than just thinking about &quot;replacing C&quot;, &quot;replacing C++&quot; or things like that.
