relying heavily on unsafe becomes a red flag. It implies that the author of the code has a tendency to play fast and loose It does not imply that. It might mean that the author knows what he's doing. Or not. We don't know without auditing the code. defeat the ostensible purpose of choosing a language like Rust in the first place The OP didn't try to choose a language - they tried to choose a piece of software that solves their problem. Seemed like the software was rejected on wrong grounds.

To your first comment, I hadn't intended there to use 'implies' to mean logical implication. There's room in the vernacular 'implies' for "or maybe not." Though I think that we can trot out logical implication in response to your second comment: Considering taking actix-web as a dependency logically implies that you have chosen to write your program in Rust. Or, at least, the only language I'm aware of being able to import Rust modules is Rust.
