You do know that memory-safe languages are developed using memory-unsafe languages, and eventually execute the binary code on the actual CPU?

- FpUser 5y agoI think it comes from that rewrite everything in Rust camp.
- shrimpx 5y agoA memory safe language can be written in itself.
- kevingadd 5y agoMost memory-safe languages I've used self-host their compiler and standard library (i.e. they're written in the language itself).

Well, yes, but there is also (usually) a bootstrapping phase before a language is self-hosting, and if you're sufficiently paranoid the 'Trusting Trust' meta-vulnerability comes into play and isn't easily dismissed.
