SafeD
Memory safety is an important issue in software development. Systems languages like C, C++ and D offer a number of opportunities for programmer mistakes to open the door to memory corruption during program execution, possibly leading to critical system failures, or making it easier for those with nefarious intent to achieve their goals. Other languages, such as Java and C#, have built-in features intended to minimize this risk and increase memory safety.
While D is a systems language, it includes some features by default that aim to increase memory safety. Arrays all carry around their length, meaning it's always easy to determine exactly how many elements an array contains. This is further enhanced through the bounds-checking of all array ...
