From the article: > All of these are built with generally pretty unsafe code (not just in unsafe blocks, but using lots of pointer offsets and completely opting out of Rust’s ownership system). That said, Rust has already forced me to clarify a bunch of ambiguous type casts and other interesting things. I like the explicitness it has over the C with regard to integer and pointer types and operations, although I’m sure that is at least in part because I’m not very familiar with C.
