from the original comment. Meanwhile all C code is implicitly “unsafe”. Rust at least makes it explicit!

But even if you ignore memory safety issues bypassed by unsafe, Rust forces you to handle errors, it doesn’t let you blow up on null pointers with no compiler protection, it allows you to represent your data exhaustively with sum types, etc etc etc
