Perhaps "Safe Rust" would be more apt (de-referencing any pointer is unsafe), though I think it's quite fine and well accepted to refer to "Safe Rust" as just "Rust".

Of course, the null pointer can still exist in Safe Rust, but since you can't de-reference it I think it's fine to say Safe Rust is "close enough" to count.
