But isn’t the most important step having a compiler-enforced keyword for code that seems to be doing unsafe stuff?
The rest are just plugins and tools that look for said blocks and “do stuff”. I don’t see why these tools should be part of the language.
- celticmusic 7y agoI never said they should be part of the language, I said the rust community over-emphasizes the "safe" part of having the unsafe keyword and neglected the part that's actually useful in keeping things safe. Another poster responded to me stating they are starting to work on those tools, so it looks like the rust community is starting to come around. It's just that I've seen a lot of people tout the safety of rust as if the unsafe keyword was a panacea that automatically prevented problems. That attitude is really what I was responding to.
- Cyph0n 7y agoAh, gotcha. Yes, improved tooling in this area would add a lot of value to the feature.
