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.

from what you can do with the language, but from what you cannot do.
that one should avoid.
You have to give people the tools to do anything.You don't /have/ to do that. But it's often easier to market a language that can do anything.
