Any good winapi libraries for zig yet?
I don't know about good because I've only used it sparingly, but for Win32 you have this library.

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?
