Pobody's Nerfect is not the mindset that led to Rust's innovations, nor Fil-C's.

"Blocks" are relevant as they are how you express programs, algorithms, etc., that you need in order to get something done. Lots of data structures in Rust have a little unsafe somewhere. Users will typically depend on some "specialist" crate author to write them, but it exists, and is a necessary part of practical Rust programming. The pool of unsafety is open and by necessity growing.

In Fil-C, no such specialists are needed, and the pool of unsafety is closed and fixed, no matter what programs, algorithms, data structures you use.

This is not a trivial distinction I think. I think it's easy to acknowledge, especially given its (current) performance cost.

That's a lot of words to say that the problem with Rust is that people you don't like are allowed to write unsafe code.

My god, you are insufferable, that's not my opinion at all. Just because I used quotation marks in one place, a practice that can convey multiple meanings, not all of which involve disdain. It's unfortunate that Rust, a good language that has more practical use than Fil-C, a language that I use more than Fil-C, has proselytizers such as you.

Your argument is literally that there is too much unsafe code.
