Why would you use Rust over C?

Why Rust is 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.

Why 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 ).

Can Rust be used instead of C?

Rust is a decent C++ replacement if you have the same goals as C++, but if you don't, the design has very similar drawbacks. Both Rust and C++ are what I like to call “kitchen sink” programming languages, with the obvious implication. These languages solve problems by adding more language features.

Is Rust easier than C?

Conclusion. It's quite difficult to say which language is faster because it depends on case to case. But we can say that Rust is a competitor of C in terms of speed and it is faster than many other popular languages like Java and Python.
