Rust String can contain null bytes! Rust uses explicit string lengths. Agree though that most OS wouldn't be able to pass null bytes in arguments though.

Right, but it can't contain invalid UTF-8, which is valid in both command-line parameters and in filenames on Linux, FreeBSD, and other normal Unixes. See my link above for a demonstration of how this causes bugs in Rust programs.
