I've only written a bit of Rust, but from what I've seen Rust makes the first 90% of optimizing for space-efficiency easy, but the next 90% (stuff like allocating from static buffers instead of on the heap, reusing/type-punning memory, tagged pointers, clever poking at the hardware/OS internals, etc) very difficult.
