 Rust has the following strengths.
-* Memory safety, which prevents crashes and security vulnerabilities.
+* Memory-safety and thread-safety.
-* Thread safety, which enables improved performance via parallelism.
+** Crashes and security vulnerabilities are much less likely. (Roughly 70% of critical security vulnerabilities are due to memory safety bugs.)
-* Nimbleness: the safety makes it easy to make significant changes quickly and with confidence.
+** The safety guarantees allow code that is designed more actively for performance, especially parallel performance.
-* Pleasant to use, particularly once a moderate level of experience has been reached.
+** The safety guarantees allow significant changes to existing code to be made quickly and with confidence.
+* Expressive and pleasant to use, particularly once a moderate level of experience has been reached.
+* Excellent compiler error messages.
+* Excellent documentation.
 * A great community.
