Why I Chose Rust Over Zig

The author discusses their preference for Rust over Zig in system programming. Although they appreciate Zig for its C-like feel, they find Rust's memory safety, established ecosystem, and more mature tooling make it a more productive choice. The author also points out that Zig's current tooling, ecosystem, and lack of comprehensive learning resources are significant barriers. Despite Zig's potential, Rust’s industry backing and safer, more familiar tooling make it the author's go-to language for now.
