The US government explicitly recommends 6 memory safe languages: C# - created by Microsoft Go - created by Google Java - created by Sun, bought by Oracle Rust - create bor Mozilla Swift - created by Apple And ... Python - create by one fucking genius on his own in his Christmas…

@elvisxros It is interesting and indicative of the level of government competence (which is to be expected). I can't imagine the reasoning behind deciding that Python is somehow "safer" than JavaScript, or ignoring the tons of server and client apps driven by JS. The list is for languages…

@tmikov Cause it can’t keep the memory safe, duh. Where do you think those SharedArrayBuffers go off to at night!

@pcbzzz Yeah, we've been swamped with crashes caused by SharedArrayBuffer, an overwhelming total of zero. At this rate, we might just hit one by the next millennium.

@KaiSchroeder It is as safe for regular code. However it offers unsafe capabilities similarly to Rust or C#.

@tmikov Because the state plans the past, that’s because news comes to the center last.

@tmikov Or what about any other jvm languages? Or erlang or whatever. Trying to make a single page list of "safe" languages was never a good idea.

@tmikov I was wondering myself. JS does have an advantage to be embedded in every browser out there though so it's not like it's going anywhere.
