So, since I'm an unrepentant cynic, I guess it's now, like 1.5 months until the inevitable "Sentry: it has been an interesting journey" blog post? Anyway, so, I tried Sentry at some point, like, five years ago. Signed up

OK, so here's my heartfelt plea: remove the 'unsafe' keyword from Rust? Sure, not being able to do basic things like IO might be a bit of a limitation at first, but, that's all worth it, I guess? Again: I'm pointi

Ah, a voice of sort-of sanity, at long last. So, the reason I posted my original reply, is that at one of my $DAYJOBs, we recently had a 3-day outage on some service, related to Rust. Something like using AVX to read, like, up to 7 bytes to
