Rust's safety features help prevent a large class of bugs. Security issues are only one kind of bug.

C being faster to develop than Rust is a ludicrous claim.

I don't think its ludicrous.

Rust is a complex language that is safe.

C is a simple language that is unsafe.

There are always compromises and it always depends on the project. Of course importing a dependency is faster in Rust.

But the best language ever imho is Golang. Its simple and safe with the compromise being the GC.
