On the other hand, Zig can fill the niche Go does, but again, probably not best suited for it. I guess I'm just being pedantic here :).

If you really want to be pedantic, Zig could maybe be considered a GC’d lang, if you count selecting a GC for as it’s allocator (presumably with some ugly(?) comptime assurances) ;-)
