I think Rust’s hole purpose is to be an ergonomic language that supports modern practices and generates very fast executables. Safety is a nice thing to have, but that’s just an icing on the cake for folks who need it. For me at least, a proper type system, reasonable ownership model (slices and co), modular programming are worth much more than “safety”.
