How I turned Zig into my favorite language to write network programs in
> In the previous C++ version, I used Qt, which might seem very strange for a server software, but I wanted a nice way of doing asynchronous I/O and Qt allowed me to do that. It was callback-based, but Qt has a lot of support for making callbacks usable. In the newer prototypes, I used Go, specifically for the ease of networking and concurrency. With Zig, I was stuck.
There are new Qt bindings for these. Go has https://github.com/mappu/miqt and Zig has https://github.com/rcalixte/libqt6zig. I wonder if the author knew about them. I don't know enough about either language to speak on the async parts.
For me, I want these for Rust, especially what Zig has because I use KDE. I know about https://github.com/KDAB/cxx-qt and it is the only maintained effort for Rust that is left standing after all these years. But I don't want QML. I definitely don't want C++ or CMake. I just want Rust and Cargo.

Why Zig + Qt Feels Like Doing the Impossible Right
For this article and experiment I went with libqt6zig, there are other bindings libraries out there for Zig but they are QML based whereas libqt6zig is a direct binding to the Qt C++ API which I tend to prefer and it interested me a lot more because direct bindings are generally more performant and a lot harder to do correctly, so I wanted to see how well it was implemented and how well it worked in practice. The results were frankly surprisingly good and I was able to build a fully functional shopping list application with it in a relatively short amount of time, with minimal friction or trouble, I did manage to segfault a couple of times but that's to be expected and honestly half the fun, made me kinda nostalgic in fact. I've also spoken about the library with its author and maintainer rcalixte who is a super nice and helpful guy with an enthusiasm for tech and programming that is infectious and I can really relate to. So honestly if you've ever done any GUI programming before and you're interested in trying out Zig for GUI development I highly recommend you give libqt6zig a try, it's a solid library with a ton of potential.
