It is not about timelines. Linux Torvalds doesn't spend nights reading bunch of books with crabs on their covers rewriting random bits and pieces of the kernel in Rust. It is basically a dedicated group of people sponsored by megacorps doing the heavy lifting. If megacorps wanted Zig we could have had it in the kernel instead (Linux might have rejected it though, not sure what he thinks of it).
