1300 vs 1000 is not "that many more".

It's close to insignificant to comparing two languages. Especially when they boil down to things like:

  let ptr = unsafe {
        libc::mmap(
            ptr::null_mut(),
            len,
            libc::PROT_READ | libc::PROT_WRITE,
            libc::MAP_SHARED,
            file.as_raw_fd(),
            0,
        ) as *mut u8
    };
vs calling something like this in one line in C, etc.

The C version also crams every line together, the Rust version couples related statements but leave newlines between others (not sure if loc counts those too).
