One of problems faced me in C programming is hacking data with

my codes in my current time.
My question is, to which extent D code is secure and helping
in protect data?
Probably the biggest safety features of D are bounds checking
for arrays, garbage collection, and default initialization of
variables.
If you use `@safe`, you can get even better protection, at the
cost of some minor restrictions. But even without that, D is a
lot safer than C.
I noticed the word "@safe" but didn't read about its definition
yet to know what it does, but I heard about "garbage collection",
and yes it is good modern technique.
