Quoting a reply about this point I left in another comment thread: The point about the Python package example is not to say that Zig can get on platforms where Rust can't, but rather that the C infrastructure that we all use is not that easy to replace and every time you touch something, regardless of how decrepit and broken it might have been, you will irritate and break someone else's use case, which can be a necessary evil sometimes but not always. This is a point I made in the section of the blog post dedicated to explaining the limits or rewriting code.
