There were many memory safe languages before Rust, Java and C# evangelized this a lot, though at that time the accent was on memory leaks not on safety. Rust offers an alternative for low level programming and might be faster in soem scenarios then managed languages.

- simion314 3y agoMy knowledge is probably outdated so I suggest to research this yourself, but mostly is about the maturity of JAva compilers that can perform advanced optimizations and the ability to optimize at runtime. If you are interested into debating this with me and proving that Rust is the best I am not interested in a language war.
