Well, it's debatable. It was memory safety in the sense that they were using a buffer to manually manage memory and then messing up there. Languages like Rust won't save you from that, yes, but it is still at a basic level the same kind of bug. The question is if someone writing the program in Rust or Go or w/e would have used such a custom-allocator approach. It's unlikely, but such an approach is unlikely in C too, so it's not very clear-cut :) (but my general point was about sandstorm not fixing all the problems, just a subset -- not about whether other languages fix all those problems)
