I suspect the style and library code used matters greatly. Said differently, the constructs that Rust has make it _possible_ IMO to write code that is easier to read than equivalent C. Obviously even this depends, as the simplest use case will look very simple in C, but the most complex use case it is possible to write cleaner looking code in Rust due to he inclusion of higher level constructs that C simply does not have, so it typically resorts to hiding this via macros.
