Maybe not, but it's still a big pain in the butt to avoid bugs in that area. I imagine that static analysis for memory safety would be something that most developers would use in existing unsafe languages if they could.
- pjmlp 4y agoLint was created for C in 1979… to this day most devs ignore static analysis tooling for C and C++.
- KerrAvon 4y agoStatic analysis can be excellent, but it doesn't solve the whole problem.
- pjmlp 4y agoIndeed, still using it is better than nothing.
- patrick451 4y agoFor a lot of applications, that doesn't matter. It solves enough of the problem.
