Here's how your "point" landed, according to everyone but you:
Me: "Seat belts are important."
You: "Awfully funny considering our major car accidents these days are mostly all ones with seat belts."
You're implying a nonsensical causation that's purely a correlation.
- xcrunner529 2y agoMy point was how our most serious issues are with memory management that exists in popular type-strict languages and so type safety is not up there in importance compared to the biggest causes.
- quantadev 2y agoThat's exactly backwards. Without the type-safety in those memory-unsafe languages (like C++) there would be 100x more buffer overruns and other memory issues and security holes. Having the type-safety in place is literally the main thing that makes memory-unsafe languages viable.
