In cybersecurity we say 'depends' and 'never say never' a lot. Nothing is 100% memory safe if you want to deal in absolutes. Zig provides optional bounds checking, better handling of undefined behavior, and safer memory management patterns. However, it still allows manual memory management just like Rust does with `unsafe`. Furthermore memory safety is not the only bug. Rust's hidden behaviors, fugliness and complexity likely leads to equally bad bugs elsewhere.
