I'm curious where this leaves Zig. Bun was the most prominent and biggest project using it. What's left?

TigerBeetle (https://github.com/tigerbeetle/tigerbeetle) and Ghostty (https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty) come to mind as decently popular projects.

I though TigerBeetle was the biggest Zig project. Anyway, I am sure there's plenty of projects in Zig out there.

Zig is still a moving target with big fundamental changes being made to the language from version to version - nowhere near v1. When rust was at this stage of its development you wouldn’t have been able to name many projects either.

It leaves it in the same vibe realm as Nim. A terrific language but probably never hitting mainstream. You're familiar with Nim. ;)

Doesn’t seem like it is in the same adoption realm. I wasn’t aware Ghostty was written in Zig and I’m not aware of any Nim project ever reaching the heights of Ghostty (or indeed Bun). Plus as others state, Zig is still pre-1.0.

Things do look significantly better for Zig adoption-wise than for Nim as far as I can tell.
