A segfault is a security vulnerability :) I expect a modern programming language that has a runtime to not do that, correct.

  > A segfault is a security vulnerability :) Fair enough. > I expect a modern programming language that has a runtime to not do that, correct. But how do you define "has a runtime"? Java clearly has one - the JVM. Go produces standalone code, though. Or do you say that it has a runtime because it has a garbage collector that is running while the program runs? The original Pascal didn't have a runtime (if you weren't using UCSD, which generated p-code), and yet you couldn't segfault it.

    > Go produces standalone code, though. So if I put the jvm and my .jar file inside a single .zip file java no longer has a runtime? And since C applications load .so files they do have a runtime? Having a runtime is independent of the amount of files you need to read to run the program.

      So, I'll ask more explicitly: what's your definition of "having a runtime"?
