Both good points. C gives you rope to hang yourself with when it comes to correctness; Rust gives you rope to hang yourself with when it comes to performance. Personally I prefer the latter, but awareness and understanding of what's really going on is important no matter what language you're using.

The other thing is say algorithm selection. Some data structures may be more performant for the job at hand, but do you really want to package or build them yourself? A lot of the time the answer is no.
