I have already explained Hare's security features many times, some of which relate directly to memory management, such as nullable pointer types or bounds-checked slices. Memory issues are much more rare in Hare programs than in C programs.

Part of Hare's goal is to question the orthodoxy pushed by Rust and its proponents and to look for a different solution. No, it's not Rust. No, it's not going to be Rust. That does not rule it out as an interesting language.

It does, when you demonstrate you have utterly failed to comprehend Rust's, let alone C++'s, value proposition.

It is 2022, not 1972. Bring something new and valuable to the table. Don't waste our time on 1970s retreads.

Rest assured that I fully understand the value Rust supposes it offers, and C++ also. You have not invented the God language, and you are not His servant. If you aren't interested then Hare, then fine, more power to you, but bugger off while we build the language we want - not the language you want.

*Sigh*

Someday we'll be able to post an item on programming languages without things degrading this way. Evidently not today. Let's all please back off a bit now.

Do you have evidence this is true in practice? I guess you've fuzzed Hare programs and equivalent C programs and measured the bug rates?
