Maybe memory safety is actually not a property of the language or the
program - but of the programmer?

Most languages have features which can be very useful, but which can
also be dangerous if misused, either carelessly or deliberately
(pointer arithmetic in C is only one example). The onus is on the
programmer being skilled and diligent enough to use the features
safely.
