I'm sorry that the question is not really related to your compilers but I'm curious about your opinion on Zig?

I know nothing about Zig.

You should probably address that. It's a serious competitor to D (as better C). At the very least, you might see some ideas worth stealing!

Nitpick: Zig is more a competitor to the Better C subset of D, than to D itself.

You should definitely check Zig out. It's a relatively simple (compared to D, Rust, C++) language with C-level semantics but more modern syntax. It is designed to be extremely easy to interface with existing C source code, enabling one to convert a program from C to Zig incrementally and with minimal headaches
