"CPython has historically encountered numerous bugs and crashes due to invalid memory accesses. We believe that introducing Rust into CPython would reduce the number of such issues by disallowing invalid memory accesses by construction. While there will necessarily be some unsafe operations interacting with CPython’s C API to begin with, implementing the core module logic in safe Rust would greatly reduce the amount of code which could potentially be unsafe."
