> Zig and Nim

Two languages almost nobody uses. It doesn't seem likely it's actually competing with them in that case.

You hardly hear about Zig or Nim. Are they actually being used in production?

I do not know about Zig, but Nim is used in production at multiple companies - biotech, cryptocurrencies, finance, had an attempted commercial video game app, etc., etc. See here [1] for example.

Rust isn't competing with Zig and Nim just like C isn't competing with Rust.
