Just reading the HN comments I found most interesting is that Rust and Zig have future improvement that related to each other's strong point.

Rust will be getting faster Build time in 2026 and 2027+. This post shows incremental build went from 10s to 3s in 18 months. And lots of improvement coming as well. While it may not be 35ms in Zig but it is not too far to imagine Rust could have 1s or even sub second incremental build in next 2-3 years.

On the other hand Zig is getting more tooling for memory safety. Opening Access to IR and even other ( although non official ) side project to have borrow checking implemented.

That is on top of the subject languages ROC, which for whatever reason really hit the "friendly" part for a functional language.
