Hmm...I like when the compiler don't steps in my way and assumes that I know what I'm doing. Thats the reason why I don't like Rust. But when you like it, have fun!

C code is shorter than both assembly and Rust, it's not the same thing.

Both rust and C are also much, much less error-prone than assembly. It is so, so easy to get things wrong in assembly in very subtle ways. That’s one of the main drivers while people are only writing assembly today when they absolutely have to.
