Re: Type safety could prevent nuclear war

[Ola Fosheim Grøstad via Digitalmars-d]

Let me add to this that the superior approach is to compile to an 
intermediated high level format that retains type information. I 
guess this is where Rust is heading.

It just isn't possible with C semantics to make a reasonable 
version of that, since the language itself is 90% unsafe and just 
a small step up from assembly (for good and bad).
