Again: my usage of the term is widespread enough that the ISRG uses it to refer to Go as well, as does, well, basically everybody else in the industry. I think you've just message-boarded yourself into believing this is a live debate. There is no sequence of words you're going to come up with to convince me that everybody is wrong when they say "Go is a memory safe language".

You keep making arguments by assertion without giving sources, so :shrug: yeah this isn't going to go anywhere.

I think we actually agree on all of the factual points here, we just don't agree on how languages should be categorized/labeled according to their guarantees in both a theoretical and a practical sense, and that's largely a subjective matter anyway. So, happy to agree to disagree here.
