Except in regards to having a proper standard (the standard from Ferrocene has significant issues), and to the size of the language and how easy it is to implement a compiler for.
There are a lot of differences and trade-offs.

How much C++ have you written? Not C, but C++.
Do you like pattern matching in Rust? It is one of the features that Rust does decently well at.

But with no_std, Rust is not memory safe, even when not using unsafe. It does have pattern matching and modules, however.

There are architectural concerns. Even when Rust proponents and cultists try to harass unrelated projects into submission, as they are wont to do.

Thing is, Rust is not a memory safe programming language. It's not even close to being one.
