Apple also has memory-safer languages it is moving to:

Swift: A memory-safer systems programming language: https://www.swift.org

Firebloom: A memory-safer C variant: https://support.apple.com/en-il/guide/security/sec30d8d9ec1/...

Not sure what the answer is for existing memory-unsafe code.

It's an engineering approach that involves writing "A buffer overflow issue was addressed with improved memory handling" an awful lot. Hopefully one day they will finish improving the memory handling!
