I think it’s worth putting Hexops:

Maybe Midstall Software, too:

Ameli is using Zig, btw:

> Hi everyone! I work for a company where we use Zig in production. In particular, we built a virtual makeup try on that runs on WebAssembly for the Korean makeup manufacturer [Ameli](https://ameli.co.kr/). You can try it directly for yourself [here](https://vm.bfactory.ai/?part=699). Don’t worry, we don’t store any images, since all the processing is done locally on the end device. My employer, B factory, has agreed to letting me release the foundation library I developed for the virtual makeup. The library features: Color space conversions: [RGB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_spaces), [HSV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV),…

Not sure if it counts but Axiom has this one small Zig library:

Also, I remember [Motiejus](https://github.com/Motiejus) saying some time ago that Google and Cloudflare used `zig cc` in some capacity.

It doesn’t look like it is a company:

There’s also ZML, not much open-source proof that they’re actually using Zig, though:

Is there any link to back it up?

Not sure, I know engineers from these companies have been commenting on some compiler repo issues, but I don’t remember seeing any official acknowledgements like company blog posts.

How can I contact ZML to confirm this?

I believe this is the founder:

Or maybe @SuperAuguste can confirm it, since he now works there 🙂

Confirmed - we use Zig (it’s even explicitly mentioned in our Twitter/GitHub org description). Not really in production yet, though. 🙂

[DNEG](https://github.com/dneg) is using Zig judging from [Jim Price](https://github.com/shadeops)’s talks:

Syndica is writing a [Solana (cryptocurrency) Validator](https://blog.syndica.io/introducing-sig-by-syndica-an-rps-focused-solana-validator-client-written-in-zig/) in Zig. Just heard about it the other day on the Zig Discord.

Isn’t the zig software foundation missing from the list?

It is not a company, but maybe it should be listed in some other section?

I feel like it would be worth mentioning, since it does employ some zig developers.  
A dedicated section might be a good idea.
