This is not as uncommon as you may think.

Avoiding "memory bugs" in C is trivial, but tedious, so too many C programmers fail to use an appropriate programming style. Nonetheless, there are some who have never encountered a "memory bug" in programs written by them.

I agree that a programming language should enforce such features, instead of counting on competent programmers.
