At the cost of having most of the community saying that you can't code and are irresponsible any time your code comes up.

At the cost of having most of the community saying that you can't code and are irresponsible any time your code comes up.
- unrealhoang 4y agoIf only you make a library out of it, and it’s unsound. Not so different from any other programming language community I guess.
- herbstein 4y agoOne of the things that set off the whole actix debacle was a PR removing unsafe code with the equivalent safe code was rejected, even as it was shown to cause unsoundness reachable by safe code using the framework.
- jmillikin 4y agoSo tell them off and carry on? Why would you care about their opinion? Writing low-level systems code often that involves pointer arithmetic or type punning. The whole point of Rust is to be able to write such code with the iffy parts clearly delimited.
- bogeholm 4y agoThe actix-web thing, where a couple of unsound optimizations in a popular library caused some drama? Yeah it was kind of unfortunate, and I think resolved by now? As a saying goes (in some locations), “Now we probably can’t boil more soup from those bones”.
