"Memory safe languages are the future"

Yeah! And also the past!

I know you've forgotten languages other than Rust exist but the lisp family of languages have been embodying memory safety for over 60 years now

@cwebber how is lisp at performance these days?

because i imagine that "rust is memory-safe" is only part of the reason why it's so popular now, the other one being "and it's also capable of being as fast, perhaps even more so, as C/C++"
