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