D's only runtime memory safety feature is array bounds checking. (The same as Rust, I believe.) The rest is compile time.

D's compile time memory safety focusses on:

1. @safe and @system code

2. disallowing unsafe pointer operations

3. safe alternatives to pointers

4. controlling escaping of pointers

5. controlling the scope of addresses

Rust has other runtime memory safety checking, like RefCell.
