Right but if you imported one of those crates, then your “safe” rust would have memory safety issues.

So bam, you just introduced memory safety issues into your web API. This is like a C++ dev using C++ and causing memory issues unnecessarily just because they don’t want to use a safe language.

And Elixir has concurrency and memory safety and it’s guaranteed, so no package you import can violate it. Unlike rust, where you can use safe rust and think there’s no violation, but then use a crate and suddenly have memory unsafety and concurrency violations.

These crates worries are wayyy better than normal C++, but they are terrible compared to any actually safe language.
