> Proper tooling with C can prevent memory issues Statements like these make me not take people seriously. The state of the art in tooling for C to catch memory issues is miles ahead of what it used to be. But they won't catch everything, not by a long shot, especially when you often have to teach the tools how memory is managed in whatever library you're using that isn't just simple malloc()/free(). If the compiler for my language of choice can just do all this for me, and fail to compile my code when these issues might exist in my code, that's amazing. I don't want a language that lets me do broken things, and requires me to run an extra linter or tool or whatever to help me figure out what I've done wrong later.
