Fuzzing finds bugs, using a safe language precludes them.

  No it doesn't. At best it precludes a certain class of bugs (which may be very significant, but it's not a silver bullet)

    var stack = []; function ThisWillNeverCrash() { console.log('hello'); stack.push('it'); setTimeout(ThisWillNeverCrash, 0); } setTimeout(ThisWillNeverCrash, 0); // my point in posting this was to demonstrate a bug ... that array will eventually run out of memory and this loops infinitely but not using a standard language loop construct... but I see someone didn’t think that was relevant

  What constitutes a safe language? Is Rust safe?
  • steveklabnik 9y ago
    Not by the parent's definition, anyway. Rust code certainly has bugs; I know, I've written some! Now, if they're talking about memory safety bugs...
