Is zig lang stable enough now to start basing real projects on it?

I mean no offense but a billionaires vanity terminal and a database with an anime bug mascot are a bit different than a redis alternative

Is software not real software if it's written by a billionaire? What is it about the bug mascot that detracts from the database's legitimacy?

What's the problem with the mascot? PostgreSQL has an elephant and MySQL a dolphin. Is the bug too detailed for database software?
