Where Rust really shines compared to other languages IMO is when software grows beyond a certain scale. The way the language forces and encourages you to "do it properly" really prevents a lot of lazy decisions that would come back to haunt you later in unexpected ways.

The magical part about Rust really is how accurately (compared to other languages) you know which little gear in the big machine is failing. Often you even know precisely why and how it is failing.

Precondition for this is of course that you really grok Rusts ownership and type system.
