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.

    Who wants oxidised Metal when you can take off every Zig! You know what you doing!? Move Zig. For great justice.

      Rust is named after the fungus, not oxidized metal

        So, you are telling Rust is named after the pathogenic fungus (cause disease) and the logo is a crab, just like the logo of Cancer?

        That fits well with the language and its community. Well done!

          What is so wrong with people being excited about a language they like? I have always found the Rust community extremely welcoming and caring.

            In my entire life I have never seen anything in programming anywhere near as unimaginably toxic as the Rust community.

            They have a hammer and damnit if they aren’t going to prove its the best tool for brain surgery.
