Are you always able to detect them? I think languages (and programmers) that don't have a strict attitude toward memory safety will be slowly left behind in the few next years. D is lacking in this (and the scoping management should be able to plug some holes, and in the meantime there is this: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/4277 ).
There are tools to do that: https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-inspector-xe When we do have a memory safety bug, these tools help, and then I think "this wouldn't have happened in D" even without @safe. So I don't think D lacking in this.
