    So the solution is to take away any agency the developer may have over how their application allocates memory?

      Remove the need to, yes. Remove the ability to? No, and rust doesn’t prevent you from doing that, it just makes you mark it unsafe so that way if you fuck up and cause a memory error, the root cause can be narrowed down to a tiny fragment of the code base.
