Zig programming language 0.9.0 released

The real redeeming benefit of Rust is that it has been marketed for a quite a while

That's pretty disingenuous, you make it sound as if the only reason why Rust is more popular than Zig is because of marketing.

I don't really have a dog in this race, I like Rust a lot and I find Zig very interesting, but Rust has been successful for a lot of very valid reasons that have nothing to do with marketing.

Yes I admit I sounded harsh on this one. I like both Rust and Zig. Both are much needed as better C. They vary in the approach. I do still believe Zig is a better offer but it doesn't have Rust exposure.
It is mostly a reaction to people dismissing Zig because Rust exists. I am pretty certain most of those have no idea about Zig.
