the issues with Crystal, nim, zig, is that they have zero changes to be bigger.

crtystal and nim, probably not.

Zig... is surprisngly used a lot given how rough the state of the language is. It makes me think that if it ever reaches v1.0, it has a very good chance of being at least a "Kotlin", probably a "elixir"/"haskell", and a decent enough shot of "typescript".
