gollark: I guess you could just have `unsafe`/`average_c` blocks for that.
gollark: Pointer arithmetic, for one thing?
gollark: Rust was designed with ownership to start with and still can't satisfactorily chëck everything. C code is typically a horrible minefield of unsafe everything so a borrow checker could have problems.
gollark: > someone, quick! a borrow checker for C<@356107472269869058> Isn't that impossible without stupidly high false positive rates and/or missing many unsound things?
gollark: Maybe I can just expand the theming UI and ship a "monospace and black" theme.
