Using Rust when performance and memory safety are not a concern?

What are the merits of using rust in a project that doesn't need rust like memory safety and extreme performance and is not for embedded use. (Still needs Statically Typed Language)
Are there any disadvantages?
Why prefer rust over C or C++ or Go in such a case.

I guess the answer is cargo, portability, learning to write better code(maybe?), Documentation, newer language so newer concepts and solutions to problems seen with c and c++.

Am I correct?
