> I do like that Zig compiles to LLVM

It's going to start compiling to zig IR soon (if it doesn't already), and zig IR will be translated to LLVM IR or fed into zigc. So I think the recommended development cycle will be - use zigc for fast iteration on localdev, then when releasing, use slower LLVM for extra optimization passes and also for cross-compilation.

> gamedev

I think the highest interest in zig is currently gamedev, but there are SO MANY uses for zig.

If I may be permitted some shameless self-promotion, zig is pretty awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l848TOmI6LI
