As long as we counting Go as an alternative to Rust, there are a whole host of other garbage collected languages that provide memory safety benefits compared to the status quo of C and C++. Languages like Ruby, Java, Python, C#, and PHP. Personally I don’t think it makes sense to write all software in Rust. A GC makes it much easier to write certain patterns that are frustrating to write in Rust.
