I've seen this one come up a few times in PL threads too... despite what some believe, Go is not a memory safe language!
Specifically, Go is not memory safe if your program uses goroutines. Go does not protect against data races, which trigger UB and memory unsafety.
See: go.dev/doc/faq#atomic_maps
Also: blog.stalkr.net/2015/04/golang…
This is unlike Java, Python, and I think C# too, which do guarantee no UB or memory safety issues even if you don't handle concurrency properly.
Safe Rust is technically in the same camp as those, but better in practice because it tends to push you towards writing race-free code.

That's true, though situations where you need high computing power specifically in SBC form factor are really small. Aside from its power to size ratio the Pi 5 got no outstanding features in general. The use case is therefore phenomenally niche; most people only go for it because they're familiar with Raspberries, not because they make sense.
Given the different shitty moves the company did recently we should empathize sensible, better alternatives in my opinion.

Hello and a good meowing everyone! 
Have a most wonderful day and stay safe! ♥️🐈
Episode 24 is just beautiful. Honestly, #KillMeLoveMe is prob the best drama I have watched this year besides #JoyOfLife2. Probably one of the few dramas that kept me up at night, made me write essays analysing each episode.... Love the performance of the lead actor, Liu Xueyi, which is one of the best I have seen this year.
Available on #Netflix btw

in reply to Erin 💽✨ @ WHY2025 📞 ER1N • • •@erincandescent Maybe we should call them "single-threaded memory safety" and "concurrent memory safety"?
It's a pretty big distinction though, because most complex programs these days are multithreaded! Having single-threaded memory safety is definitely better than not, but can't really provide any hard guarantees once you throw threads in the mix.

in reply to Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr::live • • •But does this work the reverse way? There are multiple known soundness issues with rustc that can lead to memory issues or segfaults.
Where do you draw the line when saying something is and isn't memory safe?
Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr::live
in reply to Morten Linderud • • •@Foxboron I think "it's a bug" vs. "it was designed that way". Yes you can construct memory unsafety in safe Rust, but that's due to a compiler bug, and the only reason it hasn't been fixed yet is because it turns out to be really hard to fix that particular one.
Nobody is going to accidentally trigger that in Rust, so it only really matters if your model of memory safety is *adversarial*, and that's only relevant for sandboxes running untrusted source code and stuff like that which is pretty niche.

in reply to Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr::live • • •as a long time Go user, I’m appreciating the Arc<Mutex>> soup more and more. Yeah it’s kind of bloated, but makes concurrent access patterns explicit!
That said, the Go race detector is an amazing tool to investigate and fix concurrent data access.

Unknown parent • • •@ackasaber You cannot have memory unsafety and UB in Java and C# if you don't handle concurrency correctly. Of course you can have races, like in any language, but they won't cause arbitrary memory corruption unless there is some other unsafe code involved. Python is the same (it enforces it using the GIL, but Java and C# achieve similar semantics without a GIL).
Look up the Java memory model. It explicitly offers these guarantees for incorrectly synchronized programs: "No out-of-thin-air reads, Type Safety, Non-intrusive reads, Causality". It also doesn't mention global UB or segfaults as being allowable under any conditions.
Go is special in being one of the few "mostly memory safe by default" languages that completely gives up on that under concurrency.

in reply to mxey • • •@mxey It is. From that very doc:
> This means that races on multiword data structures can lead to inconsistent values not corresponding to a single write. When the values depend on the consistency of internal (pointer, length) or (pointer, type) pairs, as can be the case for interface values, maps, slices, and strings in most Go implementations, such races can in turn lead to arbitrary memory corruption.
If you have a data race on any of those complex types, you get UB and arbitrary memory corruption/unsafety.

Unknown parent • • •No, Java's memory model does not allow for UB or arbitrary memory corruption at all (or segfaults) and implementations abide by this.
I don't know how it's done under the hood, but it works and it's handled safely.
One of the things that *can* happen is an infinite loop in standard library code, and if you look up cases of data races in Java code that's one of the possible outcomes known to happen. But that's not unsafe/UB so it can't cause e.g. arbitrary code execution, which is very important.
