I was just about to edit my comment, because indeed that is the case, and someone will grab into it. But firmware as a term includes typically writing also that part which parent used ”safely”. In Rust world hal is own term and as abstraction more known term, but that is not the case if you advertise Rust in blog in order to make non-Rust users to make an understanding. If you build your own products, there is no hal, you need to write it. And use of unsafe to limit the dangerous code is indeed excellent practice.

But why leave that part out from the blog post which gets a lot of audience?
