As if the world needed more unsafe C code connected to the internet.
Rust-evangelism aside, I guess one can run the program under ltrace to achieve almost the same result.

Assuming (as usual) that the code generation is solid because of curl’s reputation: why not trust it? It would be pretty bad if the generator could emit memory-unsafe code. (I don’t know.)
It’s the consumer of this tool and all the code around it that will get written I don’t trust.
Fair point about memory allocations in C, but often alt languages rely on other people's code which you'd implicitly trust to do the same thing. So then it becomes an argument of testing and trust. All the same, you trust strangers code or you write your own.
Stabilisers for some, but definitely not others.
