The problem with choosing Rust over a GC language like the above (or a good one, like OCaml) isn't that it's not "fine" to use Rust, but that manual memory management is an inefficient use of developer time. That's an issue for the developer, and one he inflicts on himself, not an issue for the end-user. Both Rust and (safe) GC languages provide memory safety, after all.
