I find personally that this is the biggest advantage of Rust for the kind of code I write. Memory safety is great and all, but an aggressive GC would do just fine for what I tend to work on.
But the culture around Rust is such that libraries on average tend to be of much higher quality - more correct, better APIs, more assumptions encoded into the type system rather than punted to runtime, etc.
