Yes, but an important reason to migrate a solution to Rust are the guarantees that it offers with respect to safety.

Those guarantees go away if you use "unsafe". In that case, you may just use C or C++.

Small, encapsulated uses of unsafe wrapped in a safe wrapper are entirely different than thousands of lines of unsafe.

Also - many of the borrow checker’s guarantees are enforced inside unsafe as well.
