nit - Rust does allow memory leaks in safe code. https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/mem/fn.forget.html#safety

It's also possible to leak memory in languages with tracing garbage collection, just create a data structure that holds strong references to objects that are no longer needed, which commonly happens when using something like a HashMap as a cache without any kind of expiration.

Yes, memory leaks are rarer in Rust than in C, but they are an entirely different topic that 'unsafe' blocks.
