I see a lot of people pushing memory safe languages, far more people than actually write systems code.

What is your primary language?




Many of those people have experience writing systems programming code before UNIX and C got widespread outside Bell Labs.

Mac OS was originally written in Object Pascal + Assembly, just to cite one example from several.

My primary language is JavaScript, but I use Rust when I need to write more low-level (or higher performance) code. I certainly haven't been writing kernel code or anything like that, but I think it's fair to say that I practice what I preach when it comes to using memory safe languages.
