In general you don't need to bring your own unsafe code to the party. The standard library contains most of the unsafe code you'll need to use in your normal code, and a handful of well-supported crates (like rayon) provide the more advanced utilities that the standard library doesn't. In most cases you're only writing `unsafe` if you're interacting with C. And when you do decide you need to use `unsafe` for a non-FFI purpose, Rust provides the tooling to explicitly define the abstraction barrier such that clients of your code don't have to care (or even know) that you're using unsafe internally.
