In C/C++/C# we have a lot of control over the hardware that we are running on, so we can optimize it properly. In C/C++/C# languages, we can have more control, as we can translate them directly to assembly code, but they are not very safe, as small mistakes can create big segfaults. On the other hand, we have the Python and Ruby languages, which give us more safety, but very little control over what's going on. This is where Rust comes into play. Using Rust, we have all the control, plus all the safety as well.
