Zig vs Rust. Which one is going to be future?

I think about pros and cons and what to choose for the second (modern) language in addition to C.

Okay, but...

it’s clearly decided that Rust will be part of the future.

That's not what OP asked.

If you think Zig still has a chance at overtaking Rust though, that’s very much wishful thinking.

That's not what I said.

No, OP asked for a black and white winner. I was elaborating because I don’t think it’s that black and white, but if you want a singular answer I think it should be clear: Rust.

I see. You replied to me, though, with commentary that doesn't fit the question I was answering or the thoughts I was expressing. Don't you think it would have made more sense as a reply to OP?
