My impression - based on hearsay for Rust as I have no experience - is that
the key point of Rust is memory "safety". I use scare-quotes here, since it
is simply about correct use of dynamic memory and buffers.

It is entirely possible to have correct use of memory in C,
If you look at the evolution of programming languages, "higher-level"
doesn't mean "you can do more stuff". On the contrary, making
a language "higher-level" means deciding what it is we want to make
harder or even impossible.
