> Curious that since a lot of things are popularly rewritten in Rust or Zig

Are you referring to personal or professional codebases rewritten in Zig? Personally I haven't seen the Zig language used professionally in 1 company. And my impression from the last discussion about Zig:

was that the compiler was still too unstable to be used for real work.

It's username-404. Replying from here because I can't remember my password.

From their GitHub: "Bun is experimental software".

From their GitHub: "TigerBeetle is not yet production-ready".

From the linked blog post "Uber does not have any plans to use zig-the-language yet."

:(

I was referring to production-ready examples.
