Jokes apart, Zig is moving forward a lot which is why it's not 1.0 yet, but it doesn't mean you can't write safe and performant applications right now.
Zig is also a rather simple and straightforward language (like C) and has powerful compile-time code generation (like C macros, but without the awful preprocessor).
I'm more worried about compilation or stdlib bugs. In theory you can do lots of things with lots of things, but in practice there are all sorts of hidden limitations and bugs that tend to be noticed once a software product is past 1.0 and has been out in the wild for half a decade or more.
