Python is memory safe? Can't you access/address memory with C bindings?

Both RefCell and unsafe are features of the language. That's like saying python's OOP sucks if you don't use the class keyword.

I'm not saying it sucks. I'm saying it can be less straight-forward than conventional languages, even for experienced programmers.

The borrow checker is fantastic, but there's no doubt that it requires a new way of thinking if you've never seen Rust before.
