> "The rust produces safe code claim is also marketing garbage. The rust standard library has over 7.5k (of 35k) unsafe functions in it. The core library has 7K (of 21k) unsafe functions."
"it’s important to understand that unsafe doesn’t turn off the borrow checker or disable any other of Rust’s safety checks"[1]. Using the Rust keyword 'unsafe' doesn't make the code inside it the Wild West or automatically an exploit or a problem, it is a limited-scope relaxing of only some checks.
