The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Why does musl make my Rust code so slow? (2020)
That is what Go does. BSDs hate it. https://github.com/redox-os/relibc could be repurposed for this easily enough.

Microsoft rewriting core Windows libraries in Rust
A C standard library rewritten in Rust already exists. [0]
glibc has its share of CVEs, and many of the bugs are of the double free, use-after-free, buffer overflow variety. [1]

Linux libs rewritten in rust?
It is entirely possible to write a libc replacement in Rust. In fact, Redox has done so. There is nothing preventing that library from providing a POSIX interface both to C programs and to the Rust libc FFI crate.

How do I use Zig as Rust's Standard C Library?
This is more a Rust question than a Zig question. In Rust, the choice of a specific libc (or to not use a libc) is part of the "target", for example many hardware platforms have gnu/musl/none targets. See also relibc or mustang for pure-rust alternatives. Each libc alternative require some work to integrate into Rust.

There have been a few attempts to replace libc, at least on Linux - for example Rustix, and Relibc.

Porting Rust's Std to Rustix
There is in fact already a library that does that https://github.com/redox-os/relibc

How do I use Zig as Rust's Standard C Library?
And there are plans for universal headers: https://github.com/ziglang/universal-headers
What are some alternatives?
When comparing relibc and universal-headers you can also consider the following projects:
mustang - Rust programs written entirely in Rust
ziglibc
rustix - Safe Rust bindings to POSIX-ish APIs
compiler-builtins - Porting `compiler-rt` intrinsics to Rust
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
cross - “Zero setup” cross compilation and “cross testing” of Rust crates
