I'm not familiar with HermitCore but the authors "...promise that this will make it easier to maintain and extend our kernel [originally written in C]." It'd be great if they could elaborate.
It may or may not be easier to "maintain and extend" a Rust implementation, but it will surely be even easier to find people to do those things if they keep it in C.
