> I'm confident I didn't word my original comment well, because people are obviously reading it to say "memory safety doesn't matter". It does. It's an absolute requirement for secure software development done at any reasonable scale. But it does not produce "secure software". "Secure software" as an absolute, objective construct doesn't exist, so that's not really an interesting argument. What's interesting is if it produces software which is more secure, and I think it's a reasonable argument that eliminating memory safety issues does just that.
