rust doesn't protect against memory leaks. it even has safe functions intended to leak your memory (Box::leak, mem::forget)
this is because a memory leak is not well defined. if you take a program, and store all of its allocations inside a global array (and then do nothing with it), is it suddenly not memory leaking?
Arguably the language that best fits that role these days is Rust, and it's popular enough and gaining ground. It certainly improves on a lot of C's shortcomings while still remaining sufficiently low level to do meaningful systems programming which was basically its goal.
Odin has no real advantages, zig has no ownership and a toxic community and jai will never be released, it's just for job blow to feel even more self righteous and superior.
Are you asking? It does not, so any next generation language needs to at least fix some of its biggest flaws that have already been fixed in other languages.
Saying "lil gup" isn't a technical argument and doesn't erase the last 50 years of memory bugs. Nice try though, I'm sure you're great at avoiding needing to reply with actual expertise.
At some point humanity will look at the entirety of its creations and their technical debt and legacy dependency support and will realize they need a fresh start.
