Python is memory safe? Can’t you access/address memory with C bindings?
Python is memory safe? Can’t you access/address memory with C bindings?
It’s a great language to learn. The memory safety specifically. If you only use memory safe languages, you won’t know anything about how the memory is handled in the background. Start breaking and abusing memory, it’s the best way to learn why memory safety is important, what it’s doing different, and how it’s prevented.
Getting deep in the trenches with memory allocation is the best way to learn, since all memory safe languages do this as well, they just hide it. It’s extremely useful to know what’s going on behind the scenes and is fundamental knowledge that applies to all programming languages, past and present, no matter how much they hide it.
