I deliberately ignore that :)<p>I don&#x27;t think escape hatches added as a practical concern should count against the language, as long as they&#x27;re used appropriately by the community. You can defeat Rust&#x27;s guarantees by using an `unsafe` block, and you can defeat Python&#x27;s memory safety by adding a C extension.<p>Like I say at the start, if I were going to be strict about this it would be a very short blog post!
