Any chance NIM will get memory safety like Rust?

Araq's musings before implementing the newruntime with owned references:

Does everything have to be about Rust?

[Klonoar → fortran77]

There's nothing inherently wrong with wanting a language to ape a solid aspect of another nature. For all you know (chain) OP _wants_ to write Nim but needs memory safety.

[nimmer → tiffanyh]

Nim is already memory safe.

If you want to run without GC, the new runtime is has an ownership model.
