Topic: Safe use of unsafe: advantages and disadvantages

🔹 Comparison of unsafe type conversions and memory access & without it ([]byte->string, []float->[]uint, structures with the same fields from different packages)
🔹Using unsafe. Pointer to calculate the pointer inside the structure or slice and how such calculations can be used to speed up the code (due to the lack of checks for exceeding slice capacity)
🔹Using Unsafe. Pointer to avoid memory allocations when passing slice pointers to cgo function
🔹Using runtime. KeepAlive
🔹Examples of unsafe. Pointer bad usage.
