I think in terms of policies and politics, Zig has a much better and sustainable future

It’s independant and less biased. Rust has really fallen into drama and also political stuff with megacorps. Rust definitely has a firm place for future, but I would say Rust is more similar to java and Zig is more similar to C in that manner.

Unless you put stake into right-wing ideologues who hate Rust because it has many cat girl developers, there is no drama. And for the record, you shouldn’t, the hate peddlers make your life worse.
And great proof that Rust is free and independent is the fact that they still (carefully) do breaking changes (e.g. the slow rollout of the never type). If the corporate world would dictate its development, it’d never break existing code.

There was the RustConf Reflections Drama…
Tim Chevalier left Rust over Drama. One of the top two contributors at the time.
Zig is a much smaller community and has already had some drama. You can’t magically avoid it. All communities of a sufficient size have drama.
It might be true that Rust has a bit more drama because of the high concentration of “cat girls” as flying_sheep put it, but I don’t think there’s enough data to really say. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if Zig attracts similar characters given its closely related goals.

I said it that way because whatever scapegoat the right has chosen in a given decade is arbitrary. Might as well be the cat ears.

You’re gonna have to elaborate on that… How so?

I think I did! Rust has lots of corporate and political backing from big companies and political/security firms (FBI, pentagon etc) and zig is more free and has less governance and backing, less politics involved.
C was literally created by AT&T for unix and pushed into POSIX and enforced as a standard.
C is as corporate as it gets.
