Zig is still very much work-in-progress, much more so than Rust. I'd say it's too early to speak of traction there.

OK, it has been 6 years, so fair enough, let's wait and see at least for the 1.0

That's the difference between Zig and Go.

As far as I can tell, Go was kinda rushed, and they called it 1.0 before they get to add the generics it obviously needed. And I bet adding those generics in a way that preserves backward compatibility was a bear.

Zig will be done when it's done.
