Why does Zig make Docker irrelevant

Im not sure, it's a weird thing to say. I don't t think there's anything about the language that even specializes in containers more than any another general purpose one.

Zig is a meme language that will never break obscurity. Last time I checked it transpiles to C which makes it hard to take seriously.

D is the only one of these C++ replacement languages I respect. Unlike Rust, it's compatible with C and isn't dependent on llvm which I can only suspect adds bloat.

Unfortunately, even 20 odd years later I don't see much adoption. Corporate backing helps the most, but I honestly think hipster sounding titles like Zig, Rust, and Go play some part in this.

I'm gonna develop a programming language called Chai and the C transpiler wl be called Matcha with some anime girl mascot.

Zig never did this. Are you thinking of a different language?

You're right, my mistake

I think by your definition that D is also a much older meme language than zig...
