Like riding a motorcycle in a tee shirt and shorts.

And sun glasses, don't forget the aviators.

While Mr "I can't code without a garbage collector" is still putting on his backplate of "oh no pointers are bad" and a duck typed full face helmet, to ride his interpreted moped, the big boys, Mr C-ool and Mr ASSembly, are already downing grain alcohol at the finish line.

But then again I really don't like to step out of my embedded RTOS bubble. It really depends on what you want to accomplish and how complicated your system is.

embedded RTOS

That sounds like a domain where memory safety is secondary to size and speed... though compile time memory safety guarantees could help.

Good thing we have so many options!

This is the hardest I've seen a someone try to not mention Rust. I'm actually impressed.

Have you seen rust? I couldn't code like that, what a silly language https://lemmy.world/post/26105353

I've ridden a motorbike in a T-shirt and kilt before. That's ... fun ...
