articles about rust don't have to include a link to "what is Rust" like this one does.

They did when Rust was as mature as Zig is now. Language popularity is a reasonable deciding factor when one is starting a project that has a hiring component; personal projects not so much.

For one thing I do not think you can implement allocator in Rust. This alone would disqualify it as a "low level"/"systems" language in my opinion.

You can implement an allocator in Rust; it's unclear why you think this is not possible.

One example:

- https://github.com/fitzgen/bumpalo

You also cannot fully implement libc in ISO C, without using either language extensions or an external Assembler.

So I guess it is not a "low level"/"systems".
