I'm sure you're much more knowledgeable than me about Rust at least.
Still based on my experience reading early Redox code it was chock full of unsafe blocks, and I suspect they didn't do that out of malice but to expedite development.
So the risk might still be there.
- steveklabnik 4y agoRedox: “ A quick grep gives us some stats: the kernel has about 300 invocations of unsafe in about 16,000 lines of code overall.” https://doc.redox-os.org/book/ch01-07-why-rust.html https://doc.redox-os.org/book/ch01-07-why-rust.html This is probably not an up to date number but it gives you some idea of a random snapshot in time at least.
