> Rust is about decreasing unsafetyness or whatever the correct word for that is.

I think the word you're looking for is "safety". Safety is inherently relative and mostly about risk management. There's no such thing as 100% safe by definition.

"unsafety" rather ? ;) decreasing non-safety is not the same as increasing safety. One starts with the assumption that things are safe. The other does not.
