I don't write Rust so I don't really know, but from someone else's description here it sounds similar to `fromJust` in Haskell which is a common newbie footgun. I think you're right that this is a case of not using the language properly, though I know I was seduced into the idea that Haskell is safe by default when I was first learning, which isn't quite true — the safety features are opt-in.

A language DX feature I quite like is when dangerous things are labelled as such. IIRC, some examples of this are `accursedUnutterablePerformIO` in Haskell, and `DO_NOT_USE_OR_YOU_WILL_BE_FIRED_EXPERIMENTAL_CREATE_ROOT_CONTAINERS` in React.js.

I would be in favor of renaming unwrap() and its family to `unwrap_do_not_use_or_you_will_break_the_internet()`

I still think we should remove them outright or make production code fail to compile without a flag allowing them. And we also need tools to start cleaning up our dependency tree of this mess.
