> Zig's scope is just to be a better C that's free to add modern features...

The thing about that though, is there are a number of better C languages (both old and new) that have various levels of C interop. Languages like: D, Odin, Nim, Vlang, etc...




Eventually someone will make one that's ergonomic enough, provides enough features and can used to gradually refactor existing C with minimal changes code bases that it becomes a commercially viable alternative to just continuing to do maintenance programming on the C code.
