Zinc, a systems programming language prototype
I wish someone is inventing a systems programming language with a bit of safety but without a borrow checker. Is it even possible? Of course, having a garbage collector wouldn't qualify.

I think thats Zig in the future - there's already allocators you can use that will detect some memory safety crimes

C/C++ also have various sanitizers but they are generally not used in production. Is Zig's allocator usable in production or only while developing?

Something modern like Modula-2 and Object Pascal?
