The really silly thing is that Fil-C and Zig here have chosen a definition of memory safety that specifically excludes a bunch of overflow vulnerabilities and type confusion. At least it’s been specifically defined, but such a narrow definition makes the end result to me almost wholly uninteresting. UAF no longer turns into a RCE, but your average parsing packet code is still just as likely to be a buggy mess.
