Part of this was the allowed or special treatment given to Zig at certain sites. It then allowed the false impression to be created of it being production ready and/or far more stable than it actually is. Often intentionally overlooking or glossing over that it's still in beta, making breaking changes, and has thousands of issues (over 3,000 on GitHub).

They were allowed to have it both ways, pre-1.0 and yet somehow (near, like, just about) production-ready. Almost there, for years. Strangely given a free pass to get away with this, for what looked to be undisclosed financial and other fuzzy reasons.
