Yeah, Go is often listed with memory-safe languages, I know that. And yet when people define memory safety, Go usually fails to satisfy that definition. That's why I was asking for a definition of memory safety that would include Go. | ||

I suppose Go's notion of memory safety is satisfied by forbidding pointer arithmetic, and, maybe somewhat transitively, preventing arbitrary out-of-bounds access to memory. It definitely satisfies this notion of memory safety. Maybe this notion of memory safety is not considered to be correct, or relevant, or whatever, by whomever. That's fine. |
