I've been following the project for several years by now. Occasionally it will look like things are happening but if you zoom out there's not a lot momentum and things progress forward at a glacial pace.
Andrew has terminal NIH syndrome and often refuses to delegate useful work to other people on his team because he is a control freak who needs to have the final say on every design decision. This is why there are a bazillion outstanding issues like the infamous parameter passing bugs, integer/float arithmetic that somehow manages to be both extremely verbose and footgun-prone, a build system that quite frankly sucks massive cock for any non-trivial use case and literal hundreds of unmerged bug fix pull requests.
It's already a decent language but don't delude yourself into thinking it's going to hit version 1.0 and feel complete before 2030.

Redpill me on Zig. I mostly program in Go, D, Ruby and JavaScript these days, so all GC. What's the most difficult part of it? Allocators?
