I use Rust and C at work. I quite enjoy Rust, but I currently have no reason to believe C won't outlive it, by a lot.

And I think Zig will gradually eat a large piece of the C pie that would otherwise be eaten by Rust.

Currently Zig has the same issues as Rust in this context, primarily depending on a compiler that's too complex for a single person to maintain if necessary.

But in Zig's case it seems there's a pretty good chance that will change if they're able to drop LLVM in the future.
