Personally, I feel "safety" generalizes pretty well to "any concept that should be called out explicitly as unsafe"--not just memory safety.
You can feel that all you want, but memory safety is reasonably straightforward to define in a general context, whereas eg, unsafe string interpolation of strings for a SQL query is not really the domain of the compiler itself (rather, a problem for the type system). See Go's html library for a bunch of hilarity when this goes sideways, particularly some of the debate around comment handling. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
