Is it possible to programmatically evaluate safety for arbitrary code?

ensuring safety is a bit of a how-big-is-the-net problem, because, as proven by Rust's need for unsafe, there are some very reasonable programming ideas, like concurrency, that cannot be implemented in Rust … a practicality perspective (is it going to take the life of the universe), is it reasonable to imagine a program that takes arbitrary code in an arbitrary language and evaluates whether or not it's "Rust
