In Rust we trust! :)
Rust: the people used by language who want to make C a "safe" language, but haven't heard of Ada.
Somewhat more seriously: Ada had a version of pointer safety long before Rust was a twinkle in Mozilla's eye. I'll grant though that it isn't as robust as Rust's ownership approach. On the other hand, Ada/SPARK has adapted Rust's approach into its philosophy of provable correctness, so hey, there's no need to settle for second-best.
(Well, on the Amiga you have neither Ada nor Rust, so you have to settle for languages that consider bugs to be features, which brings us back to C...)
