How do you think that fatso library aptly named librust would fit into
any modest embedded system? Well it doesn't and you never thought of
that in the first place which makes the rest of your assumptions more
damaging than any good.

Busybox is INTENDED for embedded systems (and without any explanation
bounds-checking should be optional etcetera). Feel free to fork it and
create a rust variant; but it is all out of the scope of the current
purpose.
Busybox' popularity is increasing among container folks where it is a
building block allowing for small storage footprints and reduced
complexity. A rustybox port could take off among the Rust community
because it would allow containerizing Rust apps by building a complete
container with a single toolchain (Rustybox, Rust app, some shell scripts).
I think, the busybox should embrace this as a chance to get attention
from developers beyond embedded.
Yours,
