I wonder how this compares to the zig-to-C translate function.

Zig seems to be awesome at creating mixed environs of zig for new code and C for old, and translating or interop, plus being a C compiler.

There must be some very good reasons why Linux kernel maintainers aren't looking to zig as a C replacement rather than Rust.

I don't know enough to even speculate so would appreciate those with more knowledge and experiencing weighing in.

Rust is stable and used by a number of big players, while Zig is not stable, and as a result hasn’t seen widespread adoption yet
