@lichelordgodfrey it promises to solve the memory safety issues of C and C++

but in order to do this, it puts you in a straitjacket, making nontrivial things extremely difficult to do

but then, turns out you have to do unsafe stuff anyway, because that's how computers work, and your code runs on a computer

so then the safety promise devolves to "well, it's still safer than C and C++ most of the time"

except you could've just used Go instead
