Rust seems unfun. Zig seems cool.
They have completely different vibes. I wanted a solid language for low-level tasks, and Zig seems to be the closest match. I love how simple it is-nothing mysterious happens behind the scenes. Its memory management is straightforward and flexible. Rust, on the other hand, always keeps me on my toes. Maintaining it is even more painful.
Zig also has comptime, reminds me of a more explicit version of D's CTFE. I enjoy D a lot.
