I'm ignorant about Rust, but to me it's just static type language akin to C#. And C# has IOT library which seems to target Rust most usual use case, namely on embedded platform. C# also has memory safety just like Rust.

So why do we need Rust at all? What's the use case for it?

Anything that I'm missing?

It's kinda like getting the benefits of F#'s type system but with compilation to native code without garbage collection or data races.
