My program might also crash if there's a bug in the kernel's filesystem driver, but that's not my bug. And Elixir has FFI, which definitely lets you do unsafe stuff.
It’s not about crashing, it’s about exposing memory that could lead to security vulnerabilities.
And FFI? As in the Unix extensions? That’s the operating systems calls, not the language. By that logic, python is as dangerous as C++.
It’s crazy how so many people on this thread say rust is the only choice because of memory safety, and are now bending over backwards trying to claim memory safety is no big deal. So much so FFI is now being brought up smh.
