Rust probably had a fairly small "language footprint" when it was only a few years old with no production use cases as well. I've used both in some small hobby projects. I like writing zig significantly more than rust, but we'll see how long the language remains small and compact.

On the contrary, it had a larger one because it had green threads which require an entire runtime (similar to Go).

I first tried rust in 2015[1]. It was my first serious attempt at rust.

The language was not small whatsoever at the time. It was not fun.

I recommend trying it again. Consider how old the language is, 7 years is a really long time ago.

It may not be the smallest language, but, it compiles pretty tightly.
