For comparison, Elixir started in 2012, and got its 1.0 in 2014, two years later. Zig stable has been ‘a few years’ for literally a decade.
We have a roadmap to 1.0.0 -- it's literally right there in the release notes -- and we're going to execute on that and then tag it. Ignoring that (and SemVer) and declaring that we should actually stabilize right now is a bit unreasonable.

This is a wild comparison to me, and I say this as someone who actually used Elixir for a time fairly early in its development (and still like it!). Zig has a vastly larger and more difficult problem space to deal with than Elixir.
