> Rust can do everything C does, but it also has a much smarter type system backing it up and enforcing memory safety. This is why I have hopes that Rust will make it easier to match the performance of micro-optimised C code in the future whilst still maintaining clarity and safety (the compiler knows more invariants about the code, so can be more aggressive in its optimisations).
