The human psychology is intriguing. The more I see "... Zig ..." the stronger the urge to learn and build something with it becomes. In practice, though, I've found that building things with languages I am familiar with is more enjoyable for me, personally.

A severe case of mimetic desire. I suspect a lot of devs suffer from it.

Zig actually does bring some new and innovative ideas to programming. While Zig itself may not become the next big thing a lot of ideas in it most certainly will find their way into languages moving forward.
What would you say are the innovative ideas that have come out of Zig? I have played around with Zig a decent amount, and to me it seems more like a novel combination of an interesting set of pre-existing ideas.
it works like fashion in clothing.
