Plenty of places write Java that way, HFT might be a notable example. Rust has data-race freedom, while java has “safe” data races (it is tear-free, so even in case of a data race you won’t corrupt the memory, which is not true of rust with any number of unsafe parts). So I don’t really buy the argument that Rust would be safer.
