Apologies if you've already found this guide, but here is a link to the hook developers guide:
https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/df/d46/hooksdgDevelopersGuide.html I'm not super familiar with rust myself (though I have played around with it) but you can't just include header files that were meant for 'c' or 'c++' right? At least from what little i've done, it didn't seem so... it seemed they had their own API and an application to search user created extensions for such. The developer's guide I linked says it should be possible to create hooks in other languages. They mention Python. I'd say Rust is way closer to C++ the Python is... so it should be possible?
