“They don't want to merge my code with unsafe and I can’t prove it's actually safe”.
2 examples extrapolated to the whole community and language.
Is there any particular reason to resurrect it from 2020?
- brabel 5y agoIt's only two examples given in this post, but I think it's just reasonable to assume there are many more examples the author could give otherwise I doubt they would take the time to write about it... also, if you've been trying to participate in open source Rust projects, you know it's not just these two projects.
- EugeneOZ 5y agoJust open the link to PR - the author is arguing that unsafe code should be merged but doesn't mention it in his rant. Skepticism about unsafe code is not perfectionism.
