Where do you guys see good use cases for Zig? I'm intrigued by the language but don't really have any good ideas on where to try it out.

I thought about trying it out in as small data engineering project, but I'm not sure if language support is sufficient for the kind of tooling I would need eg. Database adapters.

I've been thinking about using it for Python hot paths. I'm not smart enough to write rust (at least without limitless supplies of aspirin). And I'd like to avoid C for all the obvious reasons.

Try Elixir.
