> To make it clear, I mean the huge footgun in rust is producing a ton of bloat and subpar code because you can’t write much and you end up depending on too many libraries

Nothing is forcing you to do that other than it’s easy to add dependencies. I don’t see how zig is much different

I find it easier to write all the code I want in zig or c since it is easy to write low level code.

Hashmap is a good example to this. I was able to fairly easily port some parts of hashbrown to c but I’m pretty sure I can’t write that code in Rust in a reasonable amount of time.
