Do some low level Rust programming and then do some low level C programming. It's hardly any safer, because it can't be safe at such a low level without a performance penalty. In the capitalist reality we live in, that is a cost no one will pay.

You're talking about the forrest - while we're talking about how making trees from scratch is difficult and messed up no matter how you go about it.

At some point, you have to talk to the computer directly (aka "unsafely"). Things like bounds checking, garbage collection, and other runtime utilities sound like great ideas until they translate to significant monetary costs each month.

Not everything is as trivial as writing GUI glue code in a nice comfy language with a magical framework. Although, most of it is.
