Fil-C is not memory safe under data races. The capability and pointer values tear under assignment, which means that if you get the wrong thread interleaving, you can access an object through a wrong pointer, causing arbitrary program misbehavior.

This limitation would be fine if Fil-C proponents (including its author) didn't try to shout down anyone pointing out this limitation.
