Ah, I forgot I was on Hacker News.

All memory-safe languages are built on an unsafe foundation. The Java HotSpot VM is very unsafe C++. That's just how computers work.

You aren't meaningfully sacrificing memory safety by using Rust because the unsafe sections are clearly marked out. That's similar to unsafe C#, Python with ctypes, and many other memory-safe languages.
