Hello, are you the language author? I've a question, the page says

But of course, if one prefers manual memory management, then the code will be unsafe, right? Because use-after-free might occur.
(More specifically, free() is always unsafe in every low level lang, unless you have some static checking like Rust's borrow checker or ZZ and ATS compile-time proofs, which I think nelua doesn't have.)
