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.

    Isn’t exactly this kind of thing what is mostly responsible for the demise of Perl?

    Perl died because better tools became available.

      Python is not better in every way, it’s just more general-purpose, so has a wider range of applicability.

      Also more people use it, though by that logic we should all be forced to use Windows bc everyone else does as well?

      And Perl both still exists and is actively maintained, so it “lost prominence” rather than “died”.
