The industry isn't biting @ Zig because it's unstable, notoriously difficult to integrate new changes into an existing codebase and because the compiler is a bitch to develop with (hard error on unused variables with no way to turn it off).
Not sure that last one rings true. There are entire languages with no allowed unused variables (some without prepending a _ to the names) that people love to develop with.
In the industry, how often is it that a tool/language is picked up for the ease of developing that tool, vs ease of using that tool?
