Ask HN: Is the Zig programming language dead?

  General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

  

You are correct that I also asked other online communities this question.

I wouldn't say I was trying to force a narrative. I was asking out of concern. I was especially unnerved after seeing the development graph on GitHub:

Also seeing there were features that haven't been implemented for the last 6 years made me even less confident about the future of the project:

Even from this post:
