whytevuhuni has done a wonderful job of saying the things I meant, clearer than I am able to articulate them. But I just wanted to point out that this is the first sentence of the documentation you linked: "Rust’s memory safety guarantees make it difficult, but not impossible, to accidentally create memory that is never cleaned up (known as a memory leak)." My sentiment exactly. Rust makes it difficult to accidentally create memory leaks. If you try hard to do it, it's definitely possible. But it's tremendously more difficult to accomplish than in C/C++ where it accidentally happens all the time.
