I like the try/catch of Zig. It is innovative.
Moreover Zig is a research playground. Ideas will find their way to D/Nim.
Zig CC is another innovation.
The compile time is also a great experiment.
It brings a lot to the table.
May not be a total C replacement, but it is an improvement and lots of C code, can be written in Zig. Lots of people can be introduced to Systems Programming with Zig. For Low Level coding, have you heard of FASM? Better than C in my opinion.
