I think Rust is "higher level" than C or Zig in the sense that there are most abstractions than C or Zig. Its not Javascript, but it is possible to program Rust without worrying too much about low level concerns.

is it a typo for more abstractions? or is there some different meaning?

Except if you need to expose or consume a C API, or you need to use some obscure performance improvement.

Which is still a crazy claim considering Rust is often told about having strong bureaucracy around even sharing variables (borrow checker).
