That's like saying that a helicopter clearly has the advantage over a car in that it can fly. True, that's an advantage, but you don't get to just pick the advantages -- they come in a package. That package is better overall only if the advantage comes at no additional cost and has no associated downsides. I, for one, think Rust's advantages comes with a hefty price tag, and can have negative effects even on correctness compared to Zig. However, it's hard to intuit which of the approaches is better for correctness; only time and empirical observation will tell.
