My question was genuine: what makes the Zig devs apart from the others, according to the question op?
Arguably, there are important things that Zig devs are doing which are not "Zig dev made" (hence the "giants" I mentioned). NASA 10 rules are now rebranded as "tiger style" and marketed along Zig; Data Oriented Design existed before Zig; LLVM existed before Zig; the authors of gpui, the library that seems to have inspired gooey, apparently did a pretty great job (please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't do graphics, don't use gpui, this is what I understood when gpui came out).
I'm sure Zig devs made pretty great things, too! Does Zig make them apart? Do Zig attracts more capable devs than other languages, maybe? Genuine question!
