Damn. I thought Zig would be a perfect rewrite language for Mold since it's a better C in many ways

Zig makes you choose either safe or fast, not both. With Rust you can get both (generally).

When choosing a language, people don’t only look at language features but also at community adoption, the library ecosystem, industry backing etc.

Zig isn’t even in the same league as Rust regarding these things. Zig may still be around and active 10 years from now, Rust is guaranteed to be.
