> Code converted from C to Rust seems much more voluminous.

I haven't seen that in practice. A good point of reference are implementations of things like ruby, python, or the erlang vm in rust compared to the C alternatives. This might be because Rust is also more expressive (probably by borrowing certain syntax/semantics from ocaml/haskell), though the borrow checker does add back some verbosity.
