Rust Foundation admits it… sort of.

The Rust Foundation has been doing its best to reveal a security issue with Rust while at the same time telling the world how wonderful it is.

The news is that 20 per cent of Rust Crates have an unsafe keyword, but you would be hard pressed to know that basic fact by reading the Rust Foundation blog,

The Blog reminds readers that Rust programmes "cannot compile if memory management rules are violated, eliminating the possibility of a memory issue at runtime."

But then it explores "Unsafe Rust in the wild" (used for a small set of actions like dereferencing a raw pointer, modifying a mutable static variable, or calling unsafe functions).
