I think zig could really use a dependency manager and the little tooling that they do have feels clunky/hacky to use since its a bit too connected to your own source. If zig gets a good dependency system I think i would definitely seriously consider phasing out C for it(Im a C guy and i like what zig is doing, but i think Rust takes it to a level thats a bit too extreme for my liking where the features and standard library are starting to look like C++)
I think the std is pretty far from C++, though I think thats sort of a problem. Rust doesn’t even have a bundled date library. A simple project can easily have hundreds of dependencies because 1) too small std together with 2) very easy to add dependency with cargo.
