What Hacker News says
2 sources> You're splitting hairs in a weird way. rustc cannot compile C code. zig can.
But why do I care? I don't use rustc directly, the build system of choice does. And very few of the major build systems have an issue handling multiple languages.
Cargo (rust's build system) supports build scripts and the community has already created C/C++ compiler hooks such as https://github.com/alexcrichton/cc-rs
rustup and cargo also provide easy cross-compilation support, too.
