> It is fine, there is just not much Rust safety advantage left then. There's exactly as much as there was before though. The entire point of the Rust safety paradigm is that you can guarantee that unsafe code is confined to only where it is needed. Nobody ever promised "you will never have to write unsafe code", because that would be clearly unfeasible for the systems programming domain Rust is trying to work in. I frankly cannot understand why people are so willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to Rust safety. It makes no sense to me to say "my code needs to have some % unsafe, so I'll just make it 100% unsafe then" (which is effectively what one does when they use C or C++ instead). Why insist on not taking any safety gains at all when one can't have 100% gain?
