Rust and Zig are both perfectly fine languages. Odin wins on simplicity and familiarity for me. I'm most productive in C which is what I use at work. So, for me, it's a better C with some quality of life improvements. It's not trying to be too radical, so not much to learn. The result is that I move can fast in Odin, and it is legitimately fun.

Mirrors my experience too. Odin is a joy for us oldie C programmers. Rust; not in the slightest.
Your experience is not universal, there are oldie C programmers who also enjoy Rust.
