Without it, we can't use the quantum enhanced string, which is safe because it's written in Rust.

It's written using unsafe Rust which means that the compiler will not be able to verify that it is safe. It's not guaranteed to be safe just because it is written in Rust. Please understand this, the author of this repo is spreading incorrect information.

The difference between a zealot and an evangelist is the ability to understand when someone is making a joke. I’ll let you figure out how you’re coming across here on your own as a growth exercise.

I cannot tell if parent is making a joke, or is dead serious. They won.

You seem to be saying that Rust code can be unsafe, perhaps you're thinking of the profoundly unsafe and deprecated C or C++ languages?

I recommend reading through this section of the The Rust Programming Language book to learn more about the existence of Unsafe Rust which is a part of Rust and not a different language like C or C++.

The article says it right there: unsafe is used to give you unsafe superpowers. This is important for the quantum entanglement that the string uses. Unsafe brings the power (superpowers enabled by the compiler), while the Rust compiler ensures everything is safe. Rust.

But what about the quantum compiler?
