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