alt Hacker NewsSomething that is much more important to me is that it's caught at compiler time. A memory issue is a logic bug. Fil-c simply moves that from undefined behavior/security issue/incorrectness to a crash. That's better than what it was. But I generally don't want my programs to crash. Having memory safety at compile time is infinitely more worthwhile imo.
It’s the exact opposite for me. Catching it at compile time is great, but the most important thing by far is that it’s caught somewhere instead of creating a security issue.
