I've heard claims like this before, but I haven't experienced
it myself.  I came to Rust very skeptical, but figured if it
could deliver on even a quarter of its claims I'd be way ahead
of C; it's pleasantly surprised me, and I've been using it
professionally for about 5 years now.  One _can_ write poor
Rust code, of course, but generally I've found much of it to
be quite good.
