> I see a very sharp knife; but this knife is completely and utterly shrouded and encased in tamper-proof, child-proof, thief-proof hardened and sealed plastic shells.

Yeah, because that knife is made of uranium.

Anyone not handling that uranium as they should, should be shunned, isolated and enclosed in a lead vault.

Ah, so that's what happened to the Actix developer. What a welcoming community!

DISCLAIMER: I did work on some Rust code (XML parser for Servo), but I'm not Rust dev by any stretch of imagination. I haven't touched it in months/years tbh.

My daily grind is Java. And I've seen enough idiots opening the plastic and licking the glow-in-the-dark knife in Java. It always leads to fun and interesting problems.

By fun I mean "Get me out of this hell" and by interesting I mean "I obviously need more drugs to understand this code".

No. He realized his mistake and isolated himself.

Here is the approximate recollection of events regarding his work on Actix:

-------

Have a safe function that does the same thing as your garbled mess of unholy unsafe abomination.

Use unsafe.

Gotta go fast!

-------

People submit PR to fix your unsafe hell spawns.

Reject!

Gotta go fast.

-------

People call you out on it.

Delete all the code.

No code = fast.

-------

In the end, he had a change of heart set new maintainers and restored the project. Then went off to write code to benchmark in C.

All's well that ends well.
