Zig's C interop means it can leverage some of the most battle-tested libraries out there, with no shortage of libraries given C's massive ecosystem. And with Zig, it's not like you have to rewrite your whole system in a new language, you can incrementally rewrite the parts that make sense, test, and repeat.
Zig's tooling around compilation is also arguably ahead of most languages, and Zig's progress here is flowing back and adding value to many communities. For example, this 0.9.0 release can now build native Node addons without requiring node-gyp.
