If you use Rust with `.clone()` and Arc/Mutex, why not just using one of the myriad of other modern and memory safe languages like Go, Scala/Kotlin/Java, C#, Swift?

The whole point of Rust is to bring memory safety with zero cost abstraction. It's essentially bringing memory safety to the use-cases that require C/C++. If you don't require that, then a whole world of modern languages becomes available :-).
