Manual memory management vs GC is orthogonal to memory safe vs unsafe.

  In practice the lines of each issue are placed very close together. Other than Rust, there are no popular memory safe languages that use manual memory management.

    Rust doesn’t use manual memory management?

      It does because you're still responsible for managing the lifetimes, even if you don't explicitly call malloc/free. Automatic memory management is reference counting and GC.
