At my job I have to learn Rust. I was just now reading about cxxbridge and bindgen, two of the (multiple) tools Rust developers have to create bindings for C/C++. This is a common thing to do in Rust, and it inevitably means that one exposes oneself "to all the bugs that can arise from those languages (either by yourself, or through a wrapper)." On this score, Rust is no safer than Nim. Plus, you have to work with Rust, definitely a negative in my book (so far).
