>The point is a language like Rust has built-in bounds checking... As does C++. See e.g. vector.at and libstdc++ debug mode: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/debug_mode.html https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/debug_mode.h... The difference is only opt-in vs. opt-out. To its credit, Rust provides additional protections against iterator invalidation and dangling pointers, but its approach to buffer overflows is the same.
