I saw a C# library earlier that boasted that part of it was "optimized using unsafe code".
A friend already clued me in on how and why the unsafe modifier carrying a positive general sentiment for C# programmers, so I gather that this just means "I used the language's low level programming features to tighten up a hot path", but I can't help but giggle at what that sounds like.
See, as a C++ programmer, I'm used to the word either meaning I'm reading or writing a bug report or a Rust programmer is going on about something that vaguely reminds me of Catholicism
and before anyone starts pearl clutching, the unsafe thing the library was bragging about doing was something to the effect of "upload data to a gpu buffer the normal way"
