Rust is stricter on memory allocations but again it doesn't magically
fix all problems. Rust is not compatible with other languages and by the
time it'll get ISO standardized to prevent backward compatibility issues
like Python, C++ will be a million miles ahead.

As far as bad C style memory management is concerned, my company offers
a robust solution and I am planning to ISO standardize it as well (I am
part of the SCC / ISO committee now).
