The way integrate Rust into Nim
Rust also has a library called safer_ffi that makes FFI easier, and I tried to use that, but the library seems to be immature, and I could not get arguments in Rust functions. If this library can be used properly, it will be possible to output C header files from Rust functions and automatically generate Nim interface functions from C header files using c2nim. We look forward to further development of this feature.

How would I connect renderer coded in C and logic coded in rust?
Bindgen is good for calling C from rust. If you want to call rust from C though, you should use safer-ffi

Plugins in Rust: Wrapping Up
I honestly wouldn't say that much has changed during this year. I do see some progress on new libraries like xlang_abi, safer_ffi or cglue, but it's still too early to know, and existing ones like abi_stable move quite slowly.
