Zig is a new simple system-level language, like modern C.
Rust, anther modern system-level language is more complex and powerful, like modern C++.
While Go is also a modern descendant of C (made by some same people who made C!)
there are some essential difference: Go is using "garbage collection" memory management and had "runtime". So Zig is simpler, smaller and more predictable. Maybe more fun.

Zig (programming language) - Wikipedia
Zig (Also known as Ziglang)[12] is an imperative, general-purpose, statically typed, compiled system programming language designed by Andrew Kelley.[13] It is free and open-source software, released under an MIT License.[14]A major goal of the language is to improve on the C language,[15][16] (also taking inspiration from Rust[17][18]), with the intent of being even smaller and simpler to program in, while offering more functionality.[19] The improvements in language simplicity relate to flow control, function calls, library imports, variable declaration and Unicode support. Further, the language makes no use of macros or preprocessor instructions.
