Zig vs Rust. Which one is going to be future?

I think about pros and cons and what to choose for the second (modern) language in addition to C.

Fair - and in fact doubly so bc even code that is readable in a language that someone else does not know (well) isn't so "readable" by definition. i.e. "readable by someone who knows the language" != "readable by most developers".

Though having to rediscover how our code works is something shared by all languages. Perl does allow the worst there though.
