What has Rust in common with DuckDB?

I’m constantly thinking about what Rust and DuckDB have in common. I’m constantly interchanging them when thinking about one or the other, but why? 🤔

DuckDB is doing a zero-copy on top of Parquet, CSV, and Excel files. At the same time, Rust is doing a zero-cost abstraction (see Rust for Data Engineers) on top of C, Python, and Ruby.

So they are very similar, which gives Rust a huge plus, as it’s a full-blown programming language. Anything else?
