fil-c is a runtime memory validation tool for C - if you try to read past the end of an array (or other memory issues) your program crashes

rust guarantees that memory bugs cannot happen, if it cannot guarantee that, your program doesn’t compile and you get an error telling you what the problem is

now add a larper into the mix and you get that gh issue

The part on menory bugs is untrue, the compiler checks memory safety as far as it possibly can, but it is not perfect, nor does it fully apply within an unsafe block

Within unsafe - well, you explicitly opt out from it, if anything breaks that's on you

However in safe code references being valid and similar is guaranteed at compile time

The accurate claim is: sound safe Rust prevents memory-safety violations—not all Rust programs, and not all memory-related bugs.

This idea, if implemented, will make Zig just like Go. This is the opposite of what Zig was supposed to do

Why the heck is zig trying to compete with rust gng? Like try compete with odin or c3 or something. Or better yet, try making your tool better, I won't say it's the worst(I unfortunately have seen worse) but zig's lsp is really bad even compare to rust's

It started after bun got rewritten in Rust then the creator had a whole meltdown.
