Unsafe rust too
yes, but when you make a port from one language to another, usually you want to rewrite it as a translation first, then refactor later with the features that language provides. A port that refactors everything in the first release is too risky.
The fact the translation has unsafe blocks only demonstrates the Zig version is not really safe as per Rust standards.
my comment was just pointing out to unsafe rust blocks used in sloppy rewrite.
You clearly don't even know what
unsafein rust means. And it's not something you can avoid when FFI is involved, slopping involved or otherwise.I see what you're saying, but there's no need to be rude.
Claude is it you?

I do love me some internet gantry commentary. Especially when it's super confident and acting knowledgable, with multiple layers of genius on display.
where is quote from? You pretend this is a quote of something I wrote?
