Of course, and many programming languages offer similar features as Rust. I've not used Ada myself, but people claim it offers similar safety features.

From my experience though, Rust is the first language that I've had the pleasure to use which offers both the safety guarantees of Java (and more, no data races!) and the low level features of C.

It still leaves me in awe what has been accomplished with Rust, and I've been using it for more than two years now.
