I hadn't heard of Jai yet, but wow! That's a lot of hype (and even tool support) for something that doesn't work yet.

At first glance, Zig vs Jai reminds me a lot of the Linux vs GNU Hurd thing (or a lot of other "worse is better" examples). A couple of geniuses locking themselves up telling the world "Just wait! It'll be awesome!" seldomly produces something that lasts.

of course, but sometimes it does.

True, but we're casting bets here :-)
