alt Hacker News> Also, Zig's spatial and memory safety is as good as Rust's
Is there a word missing before "memory"? Seems odd to specifically call out spatial memory safety when memory safety subsumes it.

Usually people say “spatial” vs “temporal”.
That's because Zig offers spatial memory safety (e.g. buffer overflows and index out of bounds), but no temporal memory safety (e.g. use-after-free). I suppose the "and" before "memory safety" is a typo.
