Don't all languages hide OS API under their own libraries and abstractions? How is Rust special in this? IMO Rust is hard because it (the borrow checker) forces you to keep track of data and state manually. If you were aiming for practically bugless C/C++ I believe you'd have expend pretty much the same effort, but Rust forces you to do it, while C/C++ leave it up to you.
