My biggest issue with zig is that it is immature programming language. Breaking changes can occur at any point and bugs can be introduced at compilation step. So with a bit of unlucky your coding experience might end up a hell.

Not a fan of Rust too though and like the zig idea in general.

That's what scared me off from learning Elm. It's mostly a one-person project. Naturally, it moves really slowly. Breaking changes can happen with any given release. And the community of developers is very small.

It's a shame, too, because there are a lot of really exciting ideas in the language. But unless you're working at NoRedInk with the lead developer, you might be better off sticking with tech that's a little more boring and less cutting edge, especially if the thing you're using it for is supposed to be making you money.
