Rust does not bind well with C for this reason it can not become a system level programming https://way-cooler.org/blog/2019/04/29/rewriting-way-cooler-in-c.htm

  But that it does not bind well with the memory model of a certain wayland implementation does not mean that it cannot bind well with C generally. It also does not mean you cannot use it for Wayland since there is a native Wayland implementation. [0] And for the systems level programming there is stuff like the current work to make use of Rust and the guarantees it gives in large C based systems like the Linux kernel. That said that Zig is not a worthy endeavour, it does just not give as strong guarantees about memory safety as Rust works to give.
