Not sure about Zig, but Rust is a pretty successful replacement for C++ by and for all the people who want low-level efficiency of C/C++ but with safety guarantees and reasonable semantics that can be understood without long and painful training.

I really want to take a good look at Rust... it does seem to have very reasonable syntax and cargo looks nice.

The bigger sell to me is that you can actually give safe rust code to a newcomer, and they won’t cut themselves on the most basic of tasks. Code review and work delegation have become soooo much easier for me as software dev lead.

It is a successful language, a successful C++ replacement remains to be seen, as per companies whose SDKs favour only C, C++ and their managed stacks.
