Rust Unsafe Keyword Debate

Only 19.11% of all rust libraries use unsafe keyword None of the c++ libraries use the unsafe keyword

The classic Woman Yelling at a Cat format is adapted into a programming joke. A furious woman represents the claim that some Rust libraries use the “unsafe” keyword, while the unimpressed cat points out that C++ libraries do not use that keyword—even though C++ is generally associated with more implicit memory-safety risks. The meme is used as a sarcastic reaction to debates about Rust versus C++ safety.
