Zig all the way. It's support for lots of architectures out of the box without needing to cross compile is so good for porting your kernel. Allocators and not having to write a whole new std library for your OS is also a major plus. There are lots more ebenfots that would take too long to list here. For an example Zig kernel, check out mine at https://github.com/ZystemOS/pluto (OS name is WIP).
