> Whereas for myself and most of the C programmers I know, Zig has sort of filled that similar space and seems to take the concerns of C programmers more seriously and the team has an attitude more in line with the C culture than the Rust team does.

I agree. In general I think Zig makes lot more sense as a C replacement for the kernel.

However, Rust is stable, and Zig isn't. And I don't expect it will be for some years. So at this point Zig is basically unusable for kernel work.

That doesn't mean it can't be added in the future though, and perhaps even overtake Rust. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26815950
