Makes me wonder whether a new language now might also consider Spectre and friends. Seems a hard problem but then so does memory safety if you start from C/C++.

Could you elucidate me on what else it does?

Next up: a language that allows to start asynchronous memory queries where you retrieve the result later.

Actually, I think Rust is more worried about use-after-you-were-supposed-to-return-it-to-me. Ownership lets you lend out mutable state without fear that they'll hold onto the ref and scribble it later. But, doesn't undermine your main point.
