Is Rust that much better than C ?

Question

To sum it up However, Rust programs also optimize quite well, sometimes better than C. While C is good for writing minimal code on byte-by-byte pointer-by-pointer level, Rust has powerful features for efficiently combining multiple functions or even whole libraries together.

Can Rust be as fast as C?

As far as speed/performance, Rust is on the same page as C++. There are situations where it is easier to write faster programs in C++ because it's easy to ignore fundamental problems in the programs.

Is Rust safer than C?

Rust doesn't have any special feature that makes it fast and different from C and/or C++. It is much safer than C++ because of protection mechanisms it follows which, in principle, are also doable in C++ (using std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr ).
