Yes, the ownership-based safety model and tight Rust integration, plus a pretty fleshed-out host-side tensor API for different workloads (sync, async, replayable CUDA graphs).
Though Triton's a Python DSL, so there's no official Triton Rust to do an apples-to-apples comparison. Being pointer-based, it's unclear how one would reason about memory safety and data-race freedom. As a point-of-comparison, cutile-rs supports both pointers and tensors. We're only able to statically reason about safety when folks operate on tensors directly. The pointer path remains unsafe.
