the point was not on the unsafe word, but a very specific feature of Rust that helps enclosing unsafe code where the compiler wouldn't be able to 100% verify your logic. no such thing in C++. C++ does not even attempt to verify safety

your response is basically "get better at coding dumbass, I am the safety validator"
