I'm not addressing that because I don't think it's an interesting discussion. There's excellent tooling for validating crypto code.

I'm emphasizing the difference between rust and C here because unlike Martin, I don't agree that it's meaningfully possible to eliminate UB in C by careful analysis.

Unsafe also gives you a massive hint where to look when you're debugging.
