> There's probably a lesson for language designers here. When I was learning the code back then the problem with safe languages was you couldn't get outside the sandbox. And for anything practical you needed to. There either weren't API's for things you wanted. Or the API's that existed were insufficient. I remember in the early 80's someone showing me some code for high end medical product. It was written in Pascal and C. With shim functions to dick with the stack so you could call C functions from Pascal. Couple of years later they rewrote everything in C++. Notable I think C# and Rust both have no seat belt modes.
