Is rust feasible for writing audio applications that are dependent on tight timings, and low latency? E.g a DAW or vst

Why wouldn't it be? There's no forced GC, you can have custom application in arenas, etc. Pretty much all tricks used for low latency are available.
If I'm not mistaken, the entire audio stack in Google's upcoming Fuscia project is being written in Rust, as well as some components of the modern Android stack (specifically the wireless stuff, but don't quote me on that).
