Hypothetically there should be possibilities for significant memory reduction by being able to deploy only what you need from the runtime instead of having everything loaded at once.

The memory usage part isn't really apart of rust or C, but rather that projects like chromium require significant hoops to jump through if you wanted to compile electron with only what you need.

I expect that servo will be tackling this issue, the browser works standalone and that's a hefty achievement in itself.
