As someone who generally prefers high level languages (Ruby, Python, JS) I'm enjoying Rust because unlike C and Cpp, I don't really have to care about memory. I don't want to spend my time thinking about memory allocations and deallocations.

Rust lets me focus on logic like a high level language does and the compiler tells me whether what I'm doing is memory safe or not. I'm vaguely aware of copying/cloning values, but Rust is pretty performant out of the box and I don't end up doing it very often.
