As someone who loves C, Zig has replaced C for me and I don't plan to go back.

There are just too many benefits, not least developer velocity and readability.

Zig is also very approachable to anyone who is familiar with TypeScript, in a way that C isn't. This means more of your team can get excited and get involved, at least in terms of reading the code.

And with Zig, where you have to spend a little extra maintenance time paying for the language being pre 1.0, that's still nothing compared to the upfront and long-lived costs associated with C. You can develop so much faster in Zig compared to C, that you're ahead even pre 1.0.
