The vast majority of Rust code out there doesn't use the `unsafe` keyword at all, and the vastly smaller amount of unsafe code that exists allows for focused and precise testing and verification. You really have no idea what you're talking about if you're trying to say that Rust is anywhere in the ballpark of C or C++ here.
Indeed, unsafe Rust is overall more difficult than C++, like one speaker at a Rust conference claimed: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2022/1/30/unsafe-rust/
And you are not being honest nor accurate here.
