Speed and memory safety do not need to be mutually exclusive. With modern languages that compile to native code, it's possible to write efficient code, both in terms of clock cycles as well as memory usage. We'll look at the state of modern languages in the industry.
Another approach to ensure memory safety is isolation, a particular strength of WebAssembly. WebAssembly is increasingly used to run code in low overhead sandboxes that don't incur the costs of other sandboxing methods while still offering strong isolation. We'll look at the state of WebAssembly for this purpose as well as real world uses.
