You can drive nails with a knife by holding the nail and hitting it with the side of the knife. It takes work to do right with you occasionally cutting yourself. Some people will even loose a hand.
You can use a hammer. You will get the nails in smoother with less rework required. You occasionally hurt yourself but not as bad as a knife. You can also smash the nerves to point you don't feel anything.
You can use a nailgun with safety switch. It's ultra-fast and can't hurt you if you're aiming where the nails go. It cost a bit more. It can hurt you if you turn the safety off or aim it at yourself. Simpler than mental effort into using knives or hammers safety. Less tiring, too. Some people even think they're fun.
That's C, C++, and languages that are memory-safe respectively. Rust's advantage of no GC is like a nail-gun that costs same as a hammer. It has the benefits but not the primary disadvantage. If you're a craftsman, you're time and energy are valuable. Use the best tools you can for whatever work you're doing. That is, what gets it done quickly, done right, and easy to fix later w/ smaller problems.
