I didn't read the whole text, but it seems to compare Unsafe Rust to Zig.
Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Of course, writing Unsafe Rust is hard.
But the application, driver or embedded developer hardly writes any Unsafe Rust code. It's pretty common that whole applications are implemented in Rust and the Unsafe Rust parts are left to the generic abstraction layers. That makes the Unsafe Rust code be centralized and not spread around into each and every application.
>Rust is hard, and involves a lot of fighting with the compiler before you can get anything done
I would rather "fight" with the compiler than with the debugger to find my memory safety bugs.
