I would articulate things differently.
Theoretically, memory-safety between Rust and managed languages is equivalent.
However, memory-safe languages (i.e. not Managed C++) running on a memory-safe VM have one more layer of defense in depth than Rust. Additional layers may include, for instance, Unix and containers.
"dynamic" languages, though? That's entirely orthogonal to memory-safety and not very good for general software safety.
