Still, I think rust is safer than zig (ReleaseSafe) is safer than zig (ReleaseFast) is equally safe as unchecked rust.
- kibwen 2y agoIMO "unchecked" is liable to cause the same sort of confusion; Rust is still performing all the usual checks, but we the programmer just introducing new things that must be manually upheld. I've come around to the notion that the keyword for the block should be `promise` (though 10 years ago this might have caused confusion with Javascript programmers), whereas the keyword for the function should remain as `unsafe`.

- mckeed 2y agoMaybe "unleashed" to connote a potentially dangerous power is loose.
