I like the try/catch of Zig. It is innovative.

Moreover Zig is a research playground. Ideas will find their way to D/Nim.

Zig CC is another innovation.

The compile time is also a great experiment.

It brings a lot to the table.

May not be a total C replacement, but it is an improvement and lots of C code, can be written in Zig. Lots of people can be introduced to Systems Programming with Zig. For Low Level coding, have you heard of FASM? Better than C in my opinion.




What people want today is easy cross platform coding, something poorly served by C, but served much better by both Zig and Odin.
