It’s not memory safe. People say, “oh, it’s safer than C because tests can warn of missed deinits” but the fact is it isn’t memory safe by design and it’s not a priority for the language. There are still reasons to use it and there are domains where memory safety isn’t a priority, but memory safety depends on the same mix of linters, code review, simple memory models, a deep understanding of how memory works, minimal dependencies and luck just like in C. Although none of those things will save you on their own or combined. If memory safety is a priority I’d consider other languages.
