yes. I'm suggesting the capacity trained and required to write safe-C is the same capacity applied to, e.g., higher level functions of your mind-- such as conceiving of, not developing, but conceiving of some of the performant optimizations in Rust in the first place.

Like a fertilizer that stimulates growth while young but a crutch which stunts advancement in old age.

Well then you'll be happy to hear that writing correct `unsafe` blocks in Rust requires just as much care as writing correct C code. :)
