Inline and Sideline Approaches for Low-Cost Memory Safety in C
&gt; Accepting that it is extremely difficult to achieve complete memory safety with the performance level suitable for production deployment<p>I don&#x27;t think this is true anymore even for system code. As Rust demonstrates, fat pointers and apropriate compile time restrictions ensure memory and type safety with marginal performance overhead.<p>It&#x27;s simply not a problem to bother with anymore in the 21st century, if not for the immense legacy of unsafe C&#x2F;C++ code and the inertia of the industry and people.
