I really like Odin as a language. I have tried Rust and Zig as well (of the newer systems languages). I think that Odin has a great niche and a lot of potential in the games industry. If what you need is a systems language with good speed and manual memory management and memory safety, BUT you also need fast DEVELOPMENT speed its great. Rust slows down development speed too much, especially for something like games where you are playing things loose and need to pivot a lot. Zig is also fantastic, but I think that some of the extra safety features make it a bit slower in development speed.
