In Go you can specify the order in format strings: fmt.Sprintf("%[2]d %[1]d\n", 11, 22)

That's a strange definition of "crash" you have there. I should go tell my customers next time that their programs definitely didn't crash.
Yes, I can catch SIGSEGV. And I can catch Java NullPointerExceptions and ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptions. So Java prevents all crashes, lol.
This prevents buffer overflow errors, but not crashes.
> it will cause a task failure
