IIRC Zig isn't memory safe though, is it? If not it seems like a bad choice if the explicit purpose is to mitigate memory safety issues...

  I think this is the issue tracking memory safety in Zig: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/2301 https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/2301

    Has any language successfully added memory safety as a "feature" after the initial release? To me memory safety seems like a fundamental aspect of a language that is very hard if not impossible to change afterwards, without so many breaking changes that you essentially in the end have created a new programming language.

      Depends what you consider an "initial release", is the point where it is available to the public or the 1.0 release?

        Let's say 1.0. Languages can change significantly between the first publicly released build and the first stable release.
