It's total score, prolific writers rise

The author is working in an environment where, left to their own device and allowed free form messages, programmers write the three word sentences shown in the blog post.

This is the downside of the variation in style across contributors. It works if people want to build something, and not just do the minimum. Open source projects frequently have no such limitations.

But I am sad to report that some people appear to need the structure.

No, that's how the feature is supposed to work.

You design an abstraction which is unsafe inside, and exposes a safe API to users. That is really how unsafe it meant to be used.

Of course the standard library uses unsafe. This is where you want unsafe to be, not in random user code. That's what it was made for.
