Yes. C has the lowest abstraction depth without going into platform-specific details like asm. LLVM is the only thing that could compete with C on that level.

  You probably know already, but just for anyone that doesn't, Rust uses LLVM to compile its machine code.

    Properties of an language are not necessarily inherited when compiled. LLVM Code is not bound to Rust's memory access restrictions.

      The Rust developers specifically tailor the compiler to generate LLVM IR that resembles Clang's generated LLVM IR.
