No, they don't. See Zig's release-safe mode.

By the way, it's awesome that you like Rust, but there's no need to imply there's something ethically wrong with Zig. Depending on the platform you're targeting, you may yet find a use for either language.

release-safe doesn't prevent all memory bugs.

Sure, but then not even "safe" languages like JavaScript will prevent all memory bugs.

And to be fair, Rust does introduce memory issues of its own in terms of allocation strategy. For certain projects, Rust would not be considered "safe" with respect to memory.

Zig's release-safe mode is worlds away from "the memory bugs that exist in C".
