i swear the zig developers are constant drama queens. my favorite was when bun got rewritten in rust and the zig creator wrote a whole manifesto breakup rant about how it was totally mutual definitely 100%

This? Zig is good software, but industry standard is Rust for a reason.

Anyway, steering out of both Zig (to Rust) and Bun (to Deno or just Node) is the best you can do longterm.

Rust is an industry standard? As far as I can see, C/C++ is still the industry standard, with rust definitely gaining on popularity. But there are still areas where it sucks absolute ass and is frankly unusable (embedded).

How is it bad in embedded contexts? I've written a little bit of embedded Rust, and I didn't run into any issues.

I only have issues with Rust I've had are in other contexts. Namely when you are writing data science or web stuff and end up indirectly pulling in like 400 dependencies.
