I'm a full time Zig developer, and I see this as an absolute win. I know Jarred has said in the past he feels Zig makes him more productive, but I also think it's fair to say Bun was programmed in a way that's quite cavalier towards buffer overruns. I think Jarred and the Oven team will have significantly better luck with Rust.

Some commenters have remarked they only heard of Zig because of Bun, therefore this is bad for Zig. Not so. In my opinion, there has always been a mismatch. I say with no ill will that a divorce is likely better for both parties. I genuinely believe Bun will be better software once fully converted to Rust.
