    Not OP, also I don't know if is sarcasm or not, but Carbon is just too new, I would understand somehow if you asked about Zig, but isn't also mature enough.

Here's someone who has rewritten keyboard firmware from Rust to Zig. https://kevinlynagh.com/rust-zig/ https://kevinlynagh.com/rust-zig/

They don't intend to compete in enviroments that have modern options.
