Yeah, on any given dimension, even safety, you'll find languages that are stronger than Rust. It excels IMO because of the balance it finds between type system, safety, functional vs imperative code, etc. It puts all these together in one package that I feel like I can use for actual work. I don't know of any other solid contenders here, except maybe Swift.

I have to agree that the "Rust all the things!" game is getting old.
