It's much more practical to build memory safety into the language than try to invent a system that is capable of policing logic employing liberal memory access.

It's much more practical to build memory safety into the language than try to invent a system that is capable of policing logic employing liberal memory access. There were some comments by Bjarne Stroustrup I read the other day that made me believe C++ was not in a hurry to move in that direction.
