Haskell is over 30 years old and I don't know if it really was a major leap over SML.
Rust is basically an ML with a borrow checker, it's cool but not really a major leap in power over C++ (maybe a leap in freedom from bugs).
What does Zig do that's so revolutionary? Custom allocators are nothing new. And compile-time evaluation has been around so long some of us forgot we had it. Also Zig is working to step off LLVM.
