I think we should take into consideration AI assistants like ChatGPT when discussing Zig vs. Rust. Differences between Zig and Rust:

1) Zig is memory-unsafe and thread-unsafe whereas Rust isn't.

2) Zig is easier to learn whereas Rust isn't.

3) Zig isn't stable yet whereas Rust is.

ChatGPT can help with Rust:

However ChatGPT can't help with Zig since Zig hasn't stabilized yet. Features like for-loops (introduced in 2022) aren't familiar to ChatGPT since ChatGPT's cut-off date is 2021.
