This sort of violates what I've always heard about computer science. I've always heard logic is logic.
Hmm, yes and no. You can express a program that does anything in any language, but API design is as much about what can't be expressed (with that API) as what can. A well designed API lets you do the things that are desirable while making it impossible to do things that aren't. You can of course bypass APIs to do anything the language allows, even in Rust if you break out the unsafe blocks and functions there's pretty much nothing you can't bypass with enough effort, but you very much have to set out to not use the API to do that.
I think your quantifier of "any other language" is the issue. There are certainly languages with far more powerful type systems than Rust, such as Coq or Lean.
