Rust newbie here. If you're working on a project like that, how bad (or even possible) would it be to just stick unsafe around almost everything, if the altern

I haven't done much C lately, but I'm at least aware of its strengths, weaknesses, and best practices. Better to use an old tool well than a new one badly. More expert Rust programmers can probably give a better answer.
