    there's a wrapper type, AssertUnwindSafe to get around it. The whole concept of unwind safety was a mistake so don't worry about using it

    Unsafe is one of the most important things in rust. The point is that you stick all the unsafety into well marked areas that can be more easily checked.

    You don't actually explain why Mojo doesn't need Pin, you just say that it works. Does Mojo automatically fix up self referential pointers on moves or something?

    Banning unsafe is actually really easy. Just one line `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` at the start of your code.

    Box operator isn't actually used in Box::new anymore. It's been replaced with a magic attribute, #[rustc_box]

    So to be clear, you want it to be harder to update the compiler? I cannot interpret "rustup seems to encourage that behavior" as anything else but that.

    what does this mean? It sounds like you tried to make a funny programming insult, but it fell flat if that's what you were going for

    This can never happen with regular string literals. String literals have the type `&'static str` but formatting returns a `String`.

    this study is extremely flawed. It is impossible to tell if these results are from the garbage collection or how bronze violates rust aliasing

    Would be a lot less work if he didn't do this package splitting nonsense

    You can interpret its MIR (mid-level intermediate representation) like Miri or const evaluation does
