Will Hare replace C? Or Rust? Or Zig? Or anything else?

I can assure you that Hare takes security more seriously than assuming the programmer is smart enough to do it right. I don't appreciate shallow takes which make unsympathetic judgements on the language which are not based in any understanding of how Hare actually works, and I've heard nothing but such takes for a week.

How does Hare prevent use-after-free, then? I'd welcome an explanation.

Hare does not prevent use-after-free, but it does prevent many other kinds of bugs which are common in C. I will go into greater detail in another blog post.
