I don't think there is much difference between C, D or Rust in
terms of computing. The core semantics are similar. With Rust
you have the additional option of linear type checking.
But Rust programmers of course want to use idiomatic linear
typing as much as possible and that makes designing graph-like
structures a challenge.
An option implies you can turn it off, has this changed since the
last time I used Rust?(admittedly, a while back)
Memory safety doesn't seem like it's the top priority for
scientific computing as much as fast turnarouds and
performance... in my opinion, anyways.
