Rust forces you to consider things upfront, or to put it another way, a C developer does what the borrow checker does manually. Sometimes, they do it after asan/ubsan/tsan has reported the issue. Sometimes it's after a segfault. Usually it's after the user hits the bug already.

Nix similarly forced issues to be reasoned with upfront.

Yes and most people are happier with a garbage collector than using C, C++ or Rust. There are domains or projects where you have to use one of those languages, but Rust is being used and promoted far outside those niches.
