You are correct that I also asked other online communities this question.
I wouldn't say I was trying to force a narrative. I was asking out of concern. I was especially unnerved after seeing the development graph on GitHub:
Also seeing there were features that haven't been implemented for the last 6 years made me even less confident about the future of the project:

Even from this post:

Of all the Zig projects the author said he was going to work on:
- https://github.com/andrewrk/groovebasin/tree/zig
- https://github.com/andrewrk/genesis/tree/zig
- https://github.com/andrewrk/clashos
he never committed and did any of them.
