Rust is able to generate C dynamic library, so we can link with it.

The dynamic library generated by Rust often statically link with its
Rust dependencies(unless that dependency is a C lib wrapper). So
it's not difficult for user to get it.

I can ask upstream whether they have interest in maintain a stable C
inteface, if they can help, we don't need to reinvent wheels.

You can take a look at librsvg[1] (from project GNOME). A SVG renderer
powered by Rust(and it's also used by Emacs currently)
