1. you get spatial memory safety which iirc is more common for security problems than temporal. 2. honestly for high performance applications you might reach for an ECS type system anyways (i think dom engines do this) at which point you wo

no, null pointers are enforced safe at the type level in zig, as are array bounds, this eliminates huge classes of errors, so you are not "responsible for everything". unlike c, you often (unless highly tuned performance is neede
