Would Zig be considered suitable for application programming? Or for programming a web API over HTTP? Or is it mostly suited for low-level programming?

Zig is, very roughly speaking, competing with the C language. We might say that Zig is to C what Rust is to C++, again, very very roughly.

There's at least one Zig HTTP server framework out there [0] but it's not really what the language is intended for.
