fair. i guess i used “rust” in collective noun sense for “rust the ecosystem and community”; from my armchair experience there’s a big contingent of that community that abhors unsafe and software that uses it, and it’s that community/ecosystem aspect that prohibits unsafe since of course the language and compiler support it just fine.
