In very low level programming, we probably want more fine grained control, and specialized code tends to use specialized arena allocators anyway.

If I am to write a browser engine, I'd choose rust, to write an embedded OS I'd choose zig.

Rust has fine-tunable control. It‘s just locked behind an „unsafe“ block.
