why not write your own? Contributing to Pygments is easy and fun. Take a look at the docs on lexer development and contact details.

This would provide Zig syntax highlighting on SourceHut ~and I believe Stack Overflow~.

Stack Overflow uses code-prettify (source).

Not sure if this is possible, but it would be pretty neat to write a compiler for PEGs that generates code-prettify and pygments lexers and then feed it the zig-spec.

pygments just gained zig support upstream: https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main/pull-requests/820/added-lexer-for-zig-programming-language/diff
