    Well, there is this:

The source mentions Python and Swift as "memory-safe languages," both of which are implemented in C and C++. How does that work if C and C++ aren't memory-safe? Cheers, Lanre.
The same way Legolas can be called an elf even when the character is being played by a human actor: by not making category errors. Even if the compiler of a Swift program has a memory management failure, that is not the fault of the Swift program, but of the compiler (and the language it is written in that allowed it).
