When Mozilla sponsored Rust development long ago, it was to eventually include Rust code in Firefox. That’s C++, not C, but C is easier than C++ in this regard.

My sibling is also correct, language decisions were made in order to keep FFI zero overhead. Just because it didn’t work out for one project (and really, one part of that project, one out of three parts) doesn’t mean it never works for anyone. There’s a lot more projects where it has.
