Similar to how Rust clearly is not memory safe, Go is also not memory safe.




Not sure what this is saying but you can create a trivial concurrent program that violates the memory safety guarantees Go is supposed to provide [1]: https://biggo.com/news/202507251923_Go_Memory_Safety_Debate

That is not true of Rust.

It's not supposed to be, but Rust does have plenty of outstanding soundness bugs: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=state%3Aopen%20la...

Rust as intended is safe and sound unless you write u-n-s-a-f-e, but as implemented has a ways to go.
