Incremental compilation, edit-and-continue are available in Visual C and C++.

REPLs do exist for C and C++.

Zig security story is hardly much better than using something like Free Pascal, with even less libraries.

In a particular toolchain not available cross-platform - not comparable to Zig having it available in the reference implementation, which is open-source and cross-platform.

Hacky, nonstandard ones with limitations and altered semantics that aren't included in any of the major IDE's. Not remotely comparable to what's provided with SLIME.
