Is there any standard to meet the requirements of being "memory safe" or is it enough for the language to just feature GC and automatic memory management? I thought only Rust and Ada (which is surprisingly not mentioned in the list) were stringent about memory safety as a language feature ... (perhaps Go too?).


I'm pretty sure that in this context "memory safe" means more than that, like difficult to impossible to have a buffer overflow.
