webp builds with fil-C just fine if you want actual memory safety.This is great but it’s got caveats:- assembly code. They may have been careful but it’s an escape hatch- if it has basically any dependencies then those are likely to transitively pull in more unsafe code
1. Can be compiled without assembly, and I believe SIMD can be written safely if you think about what it is actually doing 2. The only dependency is zerocopy which is used in a lot of major projects considered to be safe
