Keep in mind that the language itself is designed to prevent many of the errors that result in insecure code — dangling pointers, uninitialized variables, buffer overflows, arithmetic overflows…

(Yes, it’s still possible to commit some of those errors, but you have to go out of your way by using UnsafePointers or the unchecked arithmetic operators.)
