Zig is cool, but it is not even close to being ready for prime-time. It will be pre-1.0 for a while, and major breaking changes are still happening.

If someone is switching from C because it's too easy to trigger undefined behavior, picking one of the few other not memory safe languages is missing the point.

If all somebody want is a programming language than C/C++ on these matter, there are plentiful options of the shelf to pick from.

If all somebody want is a turn key replacement to C/C++ ecosystem, then there is nothing like that in the world that I’m aware of.
