Rust vs Zig: which is better for low-level control?

The question is about Rust .

Answer:

Both offer deep low-level access for systems programming. Rust boasts memory safety and advanced tooling while still letting you drop down to optimise when needed. Zig embraces freedom - manual memory handling, small binary outputs, and direct interaction with C - that appeals to those needing ‘just enough’ abstraction. For strict guardrails and control, use Rust. For total hands-on control and simplicity, Zig is a top choice.
