- francislavoie 5y agoNo arguments there, but it's still much safer to start with a memory-safe language as a base.
- viraptor 5y agoWhile it's true, most languages we move to today as memory-safe system languages do help with logic bugs. Full struct initialising, actually typed and checked enums, pattern matching, ADTs, etc. make logic bugs less likely.
