I didn't know Mom and Zig had those properties, I'll have to check them out.

Rust I believe doesn't do true cross-compilation, isn't it just relying on you using virtualization like docker and other to do so?

Rust does "true" cross-compilation, yes.

There is a tool, "cross," that uses Docker as part of its workflow, but it's not inherent in Rust's abilities to cross compile.
