Eh? As far as I can tell Zig already has more traction than e.g. D, which is listed.

I don't think it's aiming for mainstream adoption anyway, it's a very specific niche.





First lets see if it actually manages 1.0, then lets see what major company adopts it for real.

D once upon a time was also hyped due to its Facebook usage, Remedy game engine tooling.

Also, has Zig already gone to space?

Or used by car companies?

Anyway, I don't expect any of them to grow beyond their niche userbase.

D has lost its momentum, and Zig isn't really interesting as 21st century language in the AI tooling age.


IMO a language made mainstream when Azure, AWS and GCP has sdks for it. It’s not fool proof but and its a perhaps a good indicator?
