I'm also not a Rust programmer so I can't comment on whether people are overusing it, I was commenting on the suggestion that "if you're using unsafe{} in Rust what's the point in using Rust at all?" implying that it's basically C at that point, and it isn't - there's still a lot of safety checks the compiler does even in unsafe mode.
