ASAN, Valgrind, Clang Static Analyzer and plenty of other tools
are the practical mechanisms to prevent buffer overflows. Yes,
they are not baked into the ISO language standard. But D has no
ISO language standard at all.
The best part of memory safe systems programming languages is
that many of those tools don't even have to exist, they are part
of language semantics!
