Not if you opt in it. You can even put @safe: in the beginning of your D source code, then you’ll have a memory safe D (you have to opt out by using @trusted then @system).
Alright, I’ll actually dive into the research again…
Oh, I see, it’s that D is garbage collected, so really it’s more like Java or Python. Also, @safe code sounds like it’s pretty limited - far more limited than non-unsafe Rust.
Basically, if a language had been Rust before Rust showed up, Rust would have been a non-event. They solved a problem that was legitimately open at the time.
I feel like this has come up before, and D is not memory safe. It has some helper-type features, but at the end of the day it is still C-like.
