That's not what people mean when they refer to the "safety" of a language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_safety https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_safety https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_safety https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_safety http://tobyho.com/2008/03/30/how-safe-is-your-programming/ http://tobyho.com/2008/03/30/how-safe-is-your-programming/ The fact that people consider "security releases" for compilers/runtimes to be normal and acceptable is actually extremely alarming to me, but it's different from language safety.
