>I think Zig would do better than Go at things like kernels, drivers, game engines, lower level sorts of things. Edited to add the obvious: SPIR-V, for instance.

But people don't write those in Go, they use Rust for it

My specific reply was to laszlojamf saying “it seems like go, but with manual allocation”.

To your point though, if Rust is getting it done, go for it. A lot of people still write those in C though.

Yes they do. Only those with anti-GC bias don't.

Which is why TamaGo, TinyGo and gVisor exist.
