| They also conflate unsafe keyword with Rust, when its use in systems programming languages predates C by a decade. Here is the most recent version of NEWP manual, https://public.support.unisys.com/framework/publicterms.aspx... Which started as ESPOL in early 1960's, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Systems_Problem_Orie... Binaries with unsafe code blocks are tainted, and must be white listed by admins to allow execution in first place. This was then followed by several languages, using unsafe code blocks, pseudo packages like SYSTEM, unsafe, unchecked,..., until finally Rust came to be. But since most C and C++ users aren't language nerds, not even reading their own ISO specification, they are unaware of the whole safety history since JOVIAL, and naturally the whole unsafe code blocks is all about Rust. |
