(safe) Rust allows developers the freedom to focus on logic, and not memory safety or undefined behavior. Being able to focus on just logic is why people have turned to memory safe languages for years. Rust finally does it with almost no runtime cost over that of C.

Even unsafe Rust offers more guarantees than C. But is a spot where you can remove the guard rails.

C was/is an amazingly performant language, but you're kidding yourself if you believe that most developers can write software as securely in it as they could in Rust.
