There is no illusion of safety. It's 100% safe, within the code you right, if you don't use unsafe. If there is unsafe in code you use (write or shared), it's a handful of lines which you can nearly grep for it's so easy to locate. Rust devs (like myself) aren't illusioned into believing that my code and _everything below it_ is 100% safe. However i can positively assure you my code is 100% safe. Well, assuming no bug in Rust-lang/compiler. My _programs_ are not guaranteed to be 100% safe unless no unsafe is used, but Rust lets you know for certain what is safe, and what is unsafe. The point isn't absolute safety in your program. The point is absolute safety where you think there is absolute safety. To strictly know what is unsafe. And to reduce the total lines that are unsafe. edit: I'm confused by the downvotes, what is incorrect or controversial about this?
