Write security-sensitive code in Swift
Swift addresses all five memory safety axes that C and C++ leave entirely unprotected
“a memory safety bug anywhere, say, in your C and C++ code can make the program do almost anything”
An Apple WWDC session by the Swift Language team explains how Swift's design addresses five axes of memory safety — bounds, lifetime, type, initialization, and thread safety — that C and C++ do not protect against. The talk covers ARC, non-copyable types, and best practices for incrementally migrating C/C++ codebases to Swift. This is a general systems-programming security talk with no meaningful AI industry signal.
