Rust's big claim to fame was/is memory safety -- that you can't have 
buffer overflows or writes to unallocated memory.   And that by making 
such actions impossible, Rust programs can not suffer from the security 
breaches that occur when someone exploits a buffer overflow in an 
existing C program.

In essence it does for you all the "checking error codes" and "checking 
buffer sizes for sufficient space before writing" that C programmers 
have to had manually, and sometimes forget to include.
