There are few reasons: > Productivity > Readability > Performance > Static binaries > Not needing PhD in rust, especially async rust Rust works fine as high level language but it's absolutely awful for anything else and suffers from C++ feature creep. It would be a much better language if rust wasn't afraid of making `unsafe` an useful tool rather than thing that "everyone expect the core devs should absolutely avoid". Ergonomics would increase tenfolds if you could use it to essentially control the borrow checker better as well instead having to do mega abstractions (which aren't often zero-cost even) or hoops for every single thing. https://zackoverflow.dev/writing/unsafe-rust-vs-zig/ https://zackoverflow.dev/writing/unsafe-rust-vs-zig/
