Rust is a cool language for safe low-level programming with concurrency, but it is not targeted at program verification. F* can also do safe low-level programming by extraction to C, while also verifying that the code is functionally correct and secure. That's of course a lot more work, but also a lot stronger than the kind of guarantees one can get informally in rust (e.g. memory safety).
