I think the tricky thing here is that unsafe blocks pit safety and performance against each other at the limit. There’s essentially two languages both called rust: one which prioritises performance over safety. (“Make it safe - but only when safety doesn’t negatively impact performance”) And another which prioritises safety over performance (“Raw pointers and unsafe code should only be used as a last resort”). Cargo stores packages from both sub-communities and we fight over the heart of rust. - And sometimes to our collective detriment, like what happened to actix.
