Maybe, I think it's more likely that a Zig soft fork would first replace the kernel build system and then, with unit tests, piece by piece port the whole beautiful thing. Zig is on a strong path to compile and interact with C better than existing C compilers.
I like Zig a lot over Rust but I guess people should give it a while (10y) before attempting something like that. Zig isn’t even 1.0 yet and it’s not going to be for at least 2 more years.
