From the perspective that development time is a big constraint in a game jam it's no wonder zig is more popular than rust

[skohan]

Arguably Zig is a better fit for game dev. At the high end game dev is all about memory layouts and cache optimization, and that goal can run counter to Rust's approach to memory safety.

[pcwalton]

Memory safety isn't in conflict with low-level control over memory layout.

Jams can be very fad-driven. I'm not familiar with this jam, but Rust's latest game jam was dominated by Bevy, which is a very bad choice for quickly writing a game.

It was a Bevy jam, organised by the Bevy developers to celebrate the new release of Bevy.

It’s still early days for Bevy but they’re making steady progress.

I never got my rust wasm build to work without needing JS.

Then you will enjoy WASM-4 since it handles the glue code for you. There's no JS in you game but the web emulator is written in JS
