You're using zig-the-toolchain (which is great, I've used it too for the same reason when Andy posted about it on Twitter) not Zig-the-language-that-I-think-won't-go-mainstream.
No matter what you think about Rust, if you think Zig is a “serious replacement for C right now” despite being in development and still very unstable, I don't think you're doing C for a living.
I very much do C for living (as well as bunch of other languages). While I do not think zig is ready C replacement as for now. It's only one that's aiming to replace it and looks promising. Rust is not a C replacement, but rather C++ replacement.
