In real terms though tools like ASAN and Valgrind if used from

See Walter's comment earlier in this thread and my reply.
I think Rust is a promising language but I don't know enough
about it to comment. My impression about Rust is that:
a) Rust has a steep learning curve as a language.
So does C, if you're doing C "correctly".
b) If you want to do things that C allows you to do, then Rust
is no more safer than C.
That's the entire bloody point isn't it? Maybe you shouldn't be
doing a lot of the things that C allows you to do.
