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.

I also hope that some of the people reading this realize that OP is also the person posting all of the "stop trying to suppress C" posts.

🤣

I don't know, and I don't want to get personal. But that's usually a sign of someone who doesn't even code (at non-trivial levels at least)*, and thinks programming languages are like sport clubs, developers are like players contracted to play for one and only one club, and every person in the internet gantry need to, for some reason, pick one club (and one club only) to be a fanboy of. Some people even center their whole personality around such fanboyism, and maybe even venture into fanaticism.

So each X vs Y language discussion in the mind of such a person is a pre-game or a pre-season discussion, where the game or season is an imaginary competition such people fully concoct in their minds, a competition that X or Y will eventually and decidedly "win".

* Maybe that was an exaggeration on my part. Some junior developers probably fall into these traps too, although one might expect, or maybe hope, that their view wouldn't be that detached from reality.


I'm hoping to finally finish and send out a delayed new release for one of my older and mature CLI tools this weekend. It's written in C btw 😄

Modev says they've been using C for 25 years, and used Rust for several years as well! Their whole schtick baffles me.
