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.

    Rust. It’s a qualitative improvement over the old ways.

    The future won’t belong to Rust itself, but one of its descendants. Rust is too clunky to be the ultimate expression of its best ideas.

      What does Rust improve over its predecessor? The only really new thing is the borrow checker, which is only useful in very low-level programming.

      In what ways do you feel Rust is too clunky and how do you think it could be improved? Not looking to argue or even disagree necessarily; I’m just curious where that perspective comes from.
