Found a language in development called Vale which claims to be the safest AOT compiled language in the World (Claims to beSafer than Rust)

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

    Compiler for the Vale programming language - http://vale.dev/ (by ValeLang)

  • ponyc

    Pony is an open-source, actor-model, capabilities-secure, high performance programming language

  • And that last point is critical. If the language flatly can't represent some concepts it uses, they have to be implemented somewhere else. I had a similar discussion with a proponent for Pony once- the language itself is 100% safe, and fully dependent on C for its runtime and data structures. One of Rust's core strengths is being able to express unsafe concepts, meaning the unsafe code can expose a safe interface that accurately describes its requirements rather than an opaque C ABI. Vale doesn't seem to do that.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • cargo-geiger

    Detects usage of unsafe Rust in a Rust crate and its dependencies.

  • There's still plenty. Run cargo geiger on any of your projects and see for yourself.
