I don't think Zig is recommended for production use. It's not at 1.0.0 yet.

That said, there are at least three stealth-mode SaaS companies I know of betting on Zig for their performance sensitive / low-latency software. Where I work, we're tracking Zig's nightly build and follow/contribute to Zig progress and stability roadmap.

Zig hits a sweet spot between C and C++. It feels really nice to work in -- in a way that many people describe Go. I think Zig is a very attractive option for allocation sensitive programs like games, audio, or purpose-built data stores. Give it a look and decide for yourself.


D had a couple of such SaaS and doesn't seem to have helped much in the end.
