It seems that some authors make ground-less claims about Rust

I find this quote where Rust memory management declared to be identical to C as a lie. It is part of a page about CPython.

In languages like C or Rust, memory management is the responsibility of the programmer. The programmer has to manually allocate memory before it can be used by the program and release it when the program no longer needs it. In Python, memory management is automatic! Python automatically handles the allocation and deallocation of memory.

But to my taste, that ownership system of Rust makes memory management "more or less automatic" or such.
