I’m wary of these kinds of stories, where someone PR-savvy with a grudge lobs nebulous complaints against a company. Can anyone at BO without a grudge substantiate this “toxicness”?

For integer primitives, all possible values are valid. Just allowing binary initialization for structs that consist of integer types would allow compatibility with C structure. As it is, I have to either resort to unsafe code or manually deserialize every struct

I really wish there was a safe way to initialize structs with arbitrary binary data in rust. Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems intuitively safe, especially if the struct only contains integer primitives.
