Most languages are memory safe.
Most languages are not as fast as C.
Comment on Why are so many new programming languages being developed?

Most languages are memory safe. It’s only really C, C++ and zig that are not (at least for more mainstream languages). Rust is special as it is memory safe without a garbage collector. Which is big for domains where the overhead of a GC is unacceptable.

Swift is also memory safe without a GC, by the way! It uses reference counting instead.
