Fuck C and it's lazy shit pointer arithmetic array indexing shortcut. I.e. you just add the index ร size(t) to the array pointer.
Bounds checking? We've heard of it.
It's fast though.
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.
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!
