A Simplified Comparison: Rust and Pointers | HackerNoon
Briefly

"Rust adopts a novel approach by guaranteeing strict memory safety and allowing access to low-level memory manipulation, which helps overcome traditional programming risks such as memory leaks and race conditions."
"In Rust, ownership ensures that only one owner is responsible for a piece of memory at any given time, which automatically triggers cleanup once the memory is no longer used, preventing memory leaks effectively."
"The borrowing model in Rust uses references to facilitate temporary access to values without transferring ownership, and it enforces strict rules to maintain safety such as allowing multiple immutable references or a single mutable reference at a time."
"Rust's borrowing rules eliminate data races in concurrent programming, making it safer than traditional languages that allow unrestricted memory manipulation, thereby ensuring that mutable access is controlled effectively."
