Modula-2, Ada, Object Pascal, D would be.

What makes them unsuitabe is lack of widespread compiler support across those platforms, if we ignore how long Ada has been available in GCC.

And Modula-2 is now in GCC as well.



Ada has the bounds checking, but doesn't (AFAIK) have a safe way to deallocate dynamic memory. At least as of now, there is a proposal to add something like Rust in the future. It also has memory unsafe concepts like specifying an address for a variable.


Yes it does, this isn't Ada83 we are talking about.

Well Rust also has unsafe, better not use it.
