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.

>Use Zig as a zero-dependency, drop-in C/C++ compiler that supports cross-compilation out-of-the-box.
