From what I understand, rust "unsafe" is actually pretty damn safe compared to an actually memory unsafe language.

- IshKebab 5mo agoNot really. In fact unsafe Rust is widely considered to be significantly harder to get right than C or Zig. E.g. see https://chadaustin.me/2024/10/intrusive-linked-list-in-rust/ https://chadaustin.me/2024/10/intrusive-linked-list-in-rust/ or https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2022/1/30/unsafe-rust/ https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2022/1/30/unsafe-rust/ The saving grace is that in idiomatic Rust code you have very little unsafe code - usually none. But yeah there's no way I would trust AI to get unsafe Rust right.
