No. Memory safety is a big deal.
is memory safety not a real problem?
All languages have memory unsafety somewhere in the stack.
I'm really sorry but memory safety reliant on best practices is not memory safety.
This whole conversation is about memory safety of programming languages, not security vulns that no language can prevent
Memory safe languages aren't a panacea. There could just as easily have been a bug in the compiler or standard library with the same result.
"Secure" and yet they aren't even using a memory safe language such as Rust.
Isn't memory safety needed in all cases?
It's not only about memory safety.
But I thought security vulnerabilities couldn't happen in memory-safe languages!
