Zig vs Rust. Which one is going to be future?

I think about pros and cons and what to choose for the second (modern) language in addition to C.

Since you're asking today the answer is Rust because it is already more mature. In 5-10 years if you asked them the answer might be different if zig sticks around.

This is no shade against zig! It's just very new. It doesn't have a 1.0 release yet.

Also, they're very different languages with very different goals. They aren't necessarily competing in the same space.
