Zig, the Small Language
The fanaticism of Rust devs makes me think it's probably massively overrated (see Node yesterday and Ruby/Rails the day before) and Go is associated by Google which gets a perhaps unfair but still unignorable knee-jerk reaction from me to avoid it.
I don't know enough about Nim to pass judgment.
Two reasons I decided to give Zig a try: The official chat channel is on IRC, instead of Discord or Slack (so the people involved care about efficiency, open standards, and avoiding trends/bandwagoning), and it has an early but promising-looking Swift UI-like cross-platform UI framework in development: https://github.com/capy-ui/capy

Any recommendation for GUI
I’ve been making Capy (https://github.com/capy-ui/capy) which allows to code once and cross-compile to Windows, Linux, (macOS in the future) and even WebAssembly. It also have support for DataWrapper which allows to easily make animations, and much more.
What are some alternatives?
zqml - DOtherSide bindings for Zig
libui - Simple and portable (but not inflexible) GUI library in C that uses the native GUI technologies of each platform it supports.
zgl - Zig OpenGL Wrapper
zig-gamekit - Companion repo for zig-renderkit for making 2D games
webview - Tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++. Uses WebKit (GTK/Cocoa) and Edge WebView2 (Windows).
mach-gpu-dawn - Google's Dawn WebGPU implementation, cross-compiled with Zig into a single static library
microzig - Unified abstraction layer and HAL for several microcontrollers
nappgui_src - SDK for building cross-platform desktop apps in ANSI-C
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
zig-args - Simple-to-use argument parser with struct-based config
zig-upaya - Zig-based framework for creating game tools and helper apps
Flutter - Flutter makes it easy and fast to build beautiful apps for mobile and beyond
