I’m one of the people working on this. While I do think that the memory safety aspect is an important one, I think that one thing where we can win even more is that Rust has a type system that is much more robust than what C offers. If set up right, we can prevent lots of these kinds of bugs right from the start. We can also simplify things in lots of cases by removing unnecessary details no longer relevant in a modern implementation.
