Arguably, Go was once in this spot, except they had the weight of the Googleplex behind it to swiftly boost it out of niche status.

Go (and probably Nim from the GP list) is much to high level to be compared with Zig, Odin, or C.

Go was designed to fill the need that C was originally developed for (writing Unix applications), not for what C is more commonly used for today.
