gollark: I guess you could just have `unsafe`/`average_c` blocks for that.

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: Maybe I can just expand the theming UI and ship a "monospace and black" theme.
