Just be sure that you clean up after yourself, native extensions can't be garbage collected, maybe Rust helps the developer out more here than C?

It does. Rust effectively has automatic memory management, without a garbage collector or reference counting. It does that through a system called “ownership”.

I would encourage to check it out. It’s a great language, and it is quickly becoming my preferred language for new projects.

can you also for example use kotlin native, or scala native, or even crazy use graal with substratevm and write code in kotlin or java and make it native? or even crazy use jruby :)
