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!
Exactly! I once annoyed the Coverity folks by telling them that my goal with D
was to make Coverity

Yes, as long as you don't make any mistakes. A table saw won't cut your fingers
off if you never make a mistake, too.
The problem is that too few programmers know how to do that, and

Awesome and I'm looking forward to see some debugging in these

Thanks for Mike, he has done pretty much work in editing each of
my posts and keeping everything in order. He's not employed as
English teacher for nothing!

Thanks to Dennis for offering to put these videos together.
Even a short video like this one takes a significant time
investment to go from concept to publication. I'm certain there
are people out there who will find them

Hope to see more videos like this...
