I use a C dialect with (ptr,ptr) slices and (ptr,ptr,ptr,ptr) buffers. Effectively a different programming language, still uses standard C compiler.

In this day and age, the top problem is Claude bringing lots and lots of bad C into the code base. Takes a weekend to clear the week's mess.

In a cleared codebase though all the usual C memory bugs are virtually non-existant. When did I see core dump last time? I do not remember. Thus feel no urge to use Zig or Rust.

Congrats! I had many years of chasing memory bugs. It certainly influenced the design of D a lot.

Interestingly, I rarely make a memory bug these days. Too much experience, I've just learned not to make them.

But I still prefer to use language features that make it easier to not make such errors.
