> you aren't really memory-safe until you migrated all your codebase to the subset.

That's true for every gradual migration, even to another language. At the limit any rust code that uses 'unsafe' is not really memory safe for small values of 'really'.

Perfect is the enemy of good. An incremental improvement to the status quo is still an improvement.

Although I'm firmly in the "I'll believe [the practicality] when I'll see it" camp, I'm all in favour of these experiments with memory safety.
