Jokes apart, Zig is moving forward a lot which is why it's not 1.0 yet, but it doesn't mean you can't write safe and performant applications right now.

Zig is also a rather simple and straightforward language (like C) and has powerful compile-time code generation (like C macros, but without the awful preprocessor).

If you use frameworks written for node memory usage is very high and performance is meh.

If you use frameworks written for bun they smoke anything on node.

I'd definitely move over, just to get rid of the whole TypeScript / cjs / esm crap, but:

1. frontend support is poor (next.js / solid.js - I can't run anything fully on bun)

3. I still need to rewrite my backend app from a node.js framework to a bun one

4. for backend development the javascript ecosystem is losing the crown: if I wanted something safe I'd just write it in Rust (TS allows any random developer to write crap with any in it and it validates), if I'm doing something AI related I'd probably need python anyway and fastapi is not half bad
