There are languages like Go intended to write large systems by large teams and languages like Forth that are better suited for small software written by a single programmer.

There's no need to choose between Zig and LX. Use the one that better fits the problem. If for your case that's Zig, good for you.

To be honest, the real issue with LX / XL / Tao3D is that I never ever really "finished" any implementation. By the time things were working, I had new ideas and broke things again. So except for Tao3D, I never really delivered a version of the language that was solid enough.

I'm trying to work on that now, which is why I'm presently spending so much time on documenting where I want to go. The idea is that if I first write a "spec", then a community can build to implement it, and it's not just my own (limited) time.

So if you are interested in helping right now, I'd say: read the doc (in progress) and send comment / doc fixes.
