> I switched to zig from rust for implementing a database since 6 months and have no regrets but just don’t think anyone would use it for writing backend code or other similar smaller things.

I've been thinking about starting a project in Zig rather than Go lately, even though I am skilled at Go. I really like working with more, cracked? or simply crazy people willing to learn an esoteric language, and zig fits the needs in particular I have (mostly very nice C interop)

Would you recommend? How are the average zig contributors vs something like go?



I don’t know about go personally but I have found people pleasant so far, it was also pleasant in rust.

It is definitely an excellent language for doing personal projects imo
