Surely the point of Rust is 'safety at the price of performance' and if extra performance is required, don't use Rust. Don't bodge the language to accommodate!

[panstromek]

The point of rust is explicitly not 'safety at the price of performance', quite the opposite. The whole point was to create language where safety doesn't cost performance like it does in most other languages.

It is not. If it were, it wouldn't even have raw pointers, for example.

and yet an article about a 'safe' language has code examples full of 'unsafe'... wut.
