Exactly, which begs the question why bother with Zig at all.

Zig is a much more ergonomic language, toolchain and build system. And since Zig is also a C/C++/ObjC toolchain, it's not about "Zig or C/C++", but about "Zig and C/C++" (at least from my PoV).
From my point of view it isn't enough to warrant adoption over existing alternatives.

Maybe someone proves me wrong with some killer application that makes Zig unavoidable for the rest of us.
