C# is nice, but it is nowhere near Rust in terms of safety or expressiveness. Thankfully they are finally adding discriminated unions (sum types) and other sorely missing features.
Unsafe in C# is much more dangerous than unsafe in Rust, precisely because it doesn’t actually color a function. It just allows its body to use pointers. This is why you have methods in the CLR called “DangerousFoo()”, and the compiler does nothing to prevent you from calling them.
Rust also has a much steeper learning curve. I can onboard an average developer that's familiar with Typescript and have them be productive in C# in a week.
This one is more subjective, but I also think C# has a more mature and painless web stack.
I love both languages but for me they each fill a different role.
