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.

Rust in Linux lead retires

"I was expecting [Rust] updates to be faster, but part of the problem is that old-time kernel developers are used to C and don't know Rust," Torvalds said. "They're not exactly excited about having to learn a new language that is, in some respects, very different. So there's been some pushback on Rust." Torvalds added, however, that "another reason has been the Rust infrastructure itself has not been super stable." -- Source [24-09-03]

I'm not sure that's something to be crowing about, mate...

Swing and a Miss. you need to catch up on what paid developers are doing. Go see what Google just announced and come back and tell us all again how right you are

the notoriously conservative Torvalds allowing Rust where C++ has been banned is worth crowing about, because he knows Rust is great, mate. nobody cares about a bunch of non-Rust coders not wanting to use Rust in the beta version of the kernel toochain
