I just read the blog post. The first issue was acknowledge on the same day and fixed on a commit two days later. All issues were noticed fast and corrected in the following months.

Now, there are of course much more mature options if that makes you comfortable, which is totally respectable, but saying there are bugs in the programming language borders spreading FUD.

The problem with this family of bugs is not how fast or easy they are to fix, it is how hard they are to find and how unexpected they are.

Coming from C two of them were expected for me (products of Int8) and aliasing of arrays on sum! But I suppose that's debatable

You can find them by running Julia with `julia --check-bounds=yes`. That seems quick?

If you have to check inboundness for all combinations of libraries, that's not really quick.
