This article works really well to illustrate a question I have: why is Zig so popular in posts here?

For most languages I can usually see one or two “killer features” that push the language: For Rust is taking C space with memory safety + modern semantics, for Go is being easy to learn by most engineers + parallelization, for Ruby is ergonomics…

I don’t see any similar pitch for zig other than a general “I kinda enjoy it”, and the language seems to have a couple red flags, so why focus on it? (Honest question).
