Assume mainstream adoption as used by around 7% of all github projects

Personally, I'd like to see Nim get that growth.

Zig hasn't been mentioned yet, so I'm just going to drop that here.

I personally have enjoyed the meta-programming, the ease of integrating with C libraries, and like that it's pretty straight-forward to compile.

Came here for Zig too. I never programmed anything in it other than hello world stuff. I think the world is waiting for the 1.0 release with complete tooling and package manager and a solid foundation that won't change too soon. I watched talks from Andrew and what this guy and his team is doing is amazing. It's a small team.

Zig is what I thought Rust would be like when I first heard of Rust. I'd love to try Zig for some hobby things but can't get it running on OpenBSD (yet!).
