Choosing a high-level language would limit your world so all of those are out. I could make my own high-level language if absolutely necessary from Zig but the reverse is not possible.
Zig > C as it’s easier to write safer more secure code while being as fast or even faster than C, and usable in embedded and other places only C is normally used. In fact, I can create C binaries with my Zig compiler.
Zig > Rust because actually writing safe Rust code would use all my time and sanity so would end up writing unsafe Rust, but then what’s the point.
Zig > Go because Go is slower, higher level, and backed by one of the most evil entities to ever exist.
You could write a compiler for a low-level language in anything. Honestly makes little sense that most people do it in C++ when they’re only going to replace it anyway.
Zig > Rust because actually writing safe Rust code
Start thinking more functional, I rarely have issues with the borrow-checker, or even have to write unsafe. But it obviously depends on the context, when the issue at hand really requires a lot of interior mutability or unsafecan be pain.
I’m also super fast nowadays with Rust, probably faster than with any other language (thanks to great tooling?).

Sounds like good advice, thx.
