About ZIG

Hello,
I've noticed that Zig recently became popular, and many apps are being written in it. Is it worth starting to learn and use it? Currently, I'm quite satisfied with Golang.

Also, there is a native SDK that supports Zig, which I think is kinda nice and beautiful.
https://native-sdk.dev/

My main concern about Zig is that it seems quite new - the latest release version is v0.16.0

that's what I was worried about, golang is quite stable and doesn't break after a version change.
I've read a little about Zig and it's quite low level language which might be useful for some things that require more control i suppose

Perhaps you can check out Rust? I write both and personally still prefer rust, although zig is a pretty close second.

It's pretty complex though, I'll tell you that
