> Rust has a lot of problems for serious low level work

Could expand on where it suffers? I've been playing around with Rust in the embedded space (nothing serious at all); I find it to be as elegant in a nonstd situation as it is in standard high level app development.

> and suffers from a lot of the same classes of problems C++ does,

What are those classes of problems? C++ never offered a safe alternative to C, but did offer some eases of use and stronger typing over C.

Rust on the other hand has a huge amount to offer over C. At no point in my Rust work do I ever wish I was working with C, quite the contrary. But I like strongly typed languages, Rust is definitely not for those that dislike types.
