Python is memory safe? Can’t you access/address memory with C bindings?

    heh! so glad I intentionally avoided C++ from the get-go. C when I want to blow some fingers off quickly, python when I want to stroll down a country lane picking flowers. there is no in-between ;-)

      C++ is nicer to use than C, and with currently preferred style it’s safer, though not safe in the way Python is.

      You might also try Go and Ada. I confess to not having clear understanding of how Rust beats Ada or vice versa. There are very few people really knowledgeable about both, who have addressed this afaik. I can say coding in Ada feels clanky but very solid. Idk yet about Rust.
