> Writing a substantial amount of unsafe Rust really sucks the beauty out of the language.
I really disagree with this take, given the examples of unsafe code the article chose to exhibit. Trying to write C in Rust totally goes against the grain of Rust's ergonomics, which are oriented towards discouraging unsafe code patterns. It should be a pain to attempt something dangerous, and it should feel really easy to write safe code, because this setup naturally encourages the vast majority of code to be written safely.
