This was my very non-scientific way of trying to decide between Nim & Zig as a new systems language to experiment with. The plan was to choose the one trending the most.

I added Rust and Dart as established comparisons. I also added the keyword "array" to filter out and non programming language searches. I tried the alternative filter word "string" and obtained similar results.

Extending the time window to 5 years still didn't show either one to be trending over the other.

Curiously, I did try Stack Overflow's trend page but zig and nim tags were missing.

There's no obvious winner (IMHO).
