I get your points, and they're totally valid criticisms of Rust, but I see them as learning curve issues as opposed to oppressive things that are incompatible with certain development practices. In C it's easy to pick up the language, but to manage memory properly is very hard, if not complely unclear in certain cases, C++ is similar. Rust does have direct support for exposing FFI from C quickly in both directions. Objective-C while it could easily incorporate C, it is not easy to go the other direction because of the runtime requirements. The safety of Rust requires learning some patterns to develop properly, but is quite honestly amazing in terms of the guarantees you get.
