gollark: One HTTP library leverages them to make it so you can't accidentally try sending headers after the body has already started being streamed, for instance.
gollark: And quite a lot of other things, as it turns out that linear types have many applications.
gollark: Also use after free, double frees, race conditions, sort of thing.
gollark: No, they prevent memory safety issues (except memory leaks, which they just make quite hard).
gollark: I mean, if you have an `unsafe` block then unsafety can occur. But outside of this, it cannot, and you aren't going to have the !!FUN!! of any of your code potentially doing awful things.
