    There’s a lot of bold claims being made. No segfaults, no memory leaks, etc. I’m curious to see how that’s implemented.

    Also:

    it’s safer than Rust because it lacks an “unsafe” keyword

    lol

    Oh, how many times have I wished for a pointer to just null itself.
    This one, depending upon how it gets implemented, should be a really good one.
