Homepage seems to focus mostly on temporal memory safety; there isn't much said about spatial memory safety or memory-safe-but-unsound primitives, like type confusion.

These should be table stakes when talking about "safe" languages (or subsets thereof); I hope these authors have or propose plans for these classes as well!

(I agree with the more general critique here, that any adaptation invasive enough to provide these properties in C might as well be its own programming language.)
