> JVM, garbage collected, doesn't have zero overhead abstractions.

Is it fair to say that the significance of those points are these?

no JVM: easier deployment

not garbage collected: less latency

zero-overhead abstraction: smaller in memory

Yes, and more to the point said qualities make Rust suitable for use in kernel-type systems and embedded progamming, whereas any JVM or other GC and VM based language generally isn't.
