when you say "i did lots of unsafe operations", i think it contractions the claim that you "followed the rust way of doing things". what's the point of using a "memory-safe" language if you just gonna use unsafe blocks and ignore that? i agree with you point that there's some operations that rust sucks and c is a better option although. but my claim is that writing unsafe rust and safe are diferent things, for example they created a book talking just about unsafe rust -> https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/
