SystemsStatic

Memory safety without garbage collection — the ownership system prevents use-after-free, data races, and null pointer bugs at compile time. Growing rapidly in systems programming, WebAssembly, and CLI tools. High surface area (110 concepts) and more verbose than C or Go in benchmarks, but near-perfect safety (4.8/5) — overflow is caught at runtime rather than prevented at compile time, everything else is prevented.
