Ask HN: Is Zig worth it over Rust in 2026?

2•soywod•1h ago
I used to know people who switched from Rust to Zig, and swore they would never go back to Rust. I personally tried Zig but I definitely prefered Rust (syntax, tooling, community). This was years ago. Zig is way more mature now. I'm still curious about it. But I recently read an article (cannot find it anymore…) claiming that AI handles way better Rust than Zig. The Rust compiler prevents AI to build non-sense. The author switched from Zig to Rust just for this reason. So I was wondering if Zig is still a smart choice in 2026 with AI over Rust? Enough to migrate tools from Rust to Zig?
