Comment How does usage affect this? (Score 1) 55

I'm curious if these effects remain if you regularly swear. I imagine the effect has something to do with the idea that words are viewed as "forbidden". But if you use the words all the time, this probably diminishes.

Someone needs to do additional experiments. Add in racial slurs to see how that impacts people who regularly say "fuck".

The benefit is that the unsafe blocks point you to where you should be very careful. The problem is unsafe Rust is worse than C. So, you're really attempting a balancing act where you can use a small amount of unsafe that's generally harder to get right than C, but hopefully that work is minimal compared to all the other parts of the codebase where you don't have to worry about safety and you get other benefits like a robust type system.

Your mileage may vary. I personally wouldn't choose Rust for a kernel or low level driver, but plenty of people do.

Whether it's any safer than C in the real world, time will tell.
