The Move to Memory-Safe Programming
Shifting from C and C++ to memory-safe programming languages like Rust is gaining ground
What is memory safety and why does it matter?
memorysafety.orgMemory safety is a property of some programming languages that prevents programmers from introducing certain types of bugs related to how memory is used. Since memory safety bugs are often security issues, memory safe languages are more secure than languages that are not memory safe. Memory safe languages include Rust, Go, C#, Java, Swift, Python, and JavaScript. Languages that are not memory safe include C, C++, and assembly. Types of Memory Safety Bugs To begin understanding memory safety bugs, we'll consider the example of an application that maintains to do lists for many users. We'll look at a couple of the most common types of memory safety errors that can occur in programs that are not memory safe.
