I am so excited about Zig, an exceptional and well-designed language. I really do think it has the chops to be the "Language of the Future", from general programming to my favourite, systems programing.
The only caveat I have had with it is the absence of a package manager. That is really stalling me from implementing this in more serious applications. Yes, package managers have their qualms - mainly due to dependency hell, but there are so many more positives for PM's than negative - quick iteration (trying things out quickly), open source community building, security updates and upgrades.
I am really excited for Zig, more-so than D or Rust (both some of my favourites at the moment).
Edit: In the past there was talk of not implementing a package manager, but I am more than pleased to see in these notes about work being done to implement one.
