>People do systems programming in rust, but that's not really what most of the community is doing.
As someone who haven't done any systems programming after university: wait, what?
I was under impression that this is exactly what people where doing with Rust.(system apps, even linux kernel, no?)
If not - what do they (most if the community) are doing with Rust?
Web servers, games, and applications, that sort of thing.
Some people definitely do systems programming in, but it's a minority. The std library is not set up for it at all, you need something like rustix, but even that results in very unidiomatic ("unsafe") rust code.
In Zig it's all in the std library by default. Because it's a systems programming language, first and foremost.
