> Rust has a safe mode. It is _not_ a safe language. To do anything interesting you will require unsafe blocks. This will not get you very much.
1. There are plenty of interesting programs which don't require unsafe.
2. Even if your program does require unsafe, Rust still limits where the unsafety is. This lets you focus your scrutiny on the small section of the program which is critical for safety guarantees to hold. That is still a win.
