gollark: I mean, it sounds good, except if it worked that well we presumably would not have large amounts of memory-related bugs in major projects?

gollark: Or they could just use tools which make it harder to write code with memory leaks/corruption/whatever.
gollark: I *was* considering recompiling nginx with LibreSSL.
