There are actually quite a few nice features that go beyond memory safety: - Type-safe generics (sorry C, `void*` doesn't count) - Compiler errors that try to give you the root reason why your code isn't compiling and a solution to the problem - Procedural macros to automatically generate boilerplate code for arbitrary structs/enums - Solid package management tooling built into the workflow that doesn't rely on what Linux distro you're running - consistent and easy-to-use macros for writing code meant to be used across OSs or architectures. I've written system-level packages compatible with Windows/Linux/MacOS/Every BSD flavor/Solaris with relative ease.
