I’ve heard of it for sure, and have seen some examples. I’ve never seen a real good use case for my personal or professional projects that I couldn’t fulfill with Rust or Dart in the same capacity or better. Then again, I don’t work with C projects basically at all, so other people’s mileage may vary.
I also prefer Rust, but I saw a pretty good argument for Zig (and actually a pretty big hole/problem with Rust) when it comes to unsafe stuff. The title of this is clickbait but the content is really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbQVR4v5PZw
